Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
3 large free-run egg yolks
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
salt & pepper, to taste
2/3 to 1 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. While the asparagus is steaming, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks and whisk vigorously until they get thick, about 1 minute. While whisking, add lemon and orange juice with the zest.
  • 2. Move saucepan over medium heat and keep moving it off the heat, whisking constantly. The trick here is to not shock the yolks and gradually heat them up.
  • 3. When the sauce gets thick, move the saucepan away from the heat and start adding the melted butter by pouring a few drops at first (don't shock the yolks), whisking continuously. Gradually add more until the sauce is nice and smooth (never stop whisking).
  • 4. Spoon over steamed asparagus, if not needed yet, move to the back burner, keeping warm on very low temperature. Makes 1 ΒΌ cups

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. Any tips on how to avoid that?

This dish was a bit too expensive to make for a regular meal. I'll save it for special occasions.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this dish. The Maltaise sauce was so flavorful that it made the asparagus taste amazing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some extra asparagus from a previous meal, and this was the perfect way to use it up.

The sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I'll try adding less lemon juice next time.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the Maltaise sauce with a hollandaise sauce made with vegan butter. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it can be improved with a few tweaks. I added some lemon zest to the sauce for a brighter flavor, and I roasted the asparagus instead of boiling it for a smokier taste.

I had some trouble getting the sauce to emulsify. It kept separating, no matter how much I whisked it. Any tips?

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The Maltaise sauce was very heavy and overpowered the asparagus. I think I'll try a different sauce next time.

The asparagus was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the Maltaise sauce was divine. I'll try again with less cooking time for the asparagus.
