Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small red onion, sliced into thin rounds
A few tablespoons white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar, more to taste
Sea salt
1 1/2 pounds asparagus
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1 wide band orange zest, finely slivered and blanched for 10 seconds
4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon orange juice
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Separate sliced onion rings and toss with vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside in refrigerator.
  • If asparagus spears are thick, peel stalks and cut off tough stem ends. If they are thin, snap off bottom of each stalk where it breaks easily and trim ends. Simmer asparagus with water to cover until bright green but still a little firm, about 3 minutes for thin spears, 5 minutes or longer for fat. They can be a bit underdone. Remove to a towel to dry; asparagus will finish cooking as it sits.
  • Put parsley, tarragon and capers in a bowl. Finely dice half the orange zest, then dice half the pickled onion. Add diced zest and onion to bowl. Stir in oil, mustard, orange juice and vinegar to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay asparagus on a platter. Ladle sauce over stems and tips and finish with remaining slivered orange zest and pickled onion rings. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The asparagus was overcooked and the salsa verde was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the onions were nice and crispy. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I might try a different salsa verde next time.

I love asparagus, and this recipe did not disappoint! The salsa verde was a great addition, and the scarlet onions added a nice pop of color and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This asparagus recipe was easy to follow and produced delicious results. The salsa verde was especially flavorful and complemented the asparagus beautifully. I served it as a side dish with grilled salmon and it was a hit!

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of the salsa verde and scarlet onions really elevated the asparagus and made it a truly enjoyable dish. I'll definitely be making this again.
