BUTTER-BRAISED ASPARAGUS



Butter-Braised Asparagus image

For the first-of-the-season asparagus, keep it simple with butter, lemon and sweet herbs. For the best texture, peeling the stalks really makes a difference.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds large or medium asparagus
6 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon snipped chives
1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley or chervil
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped dill, plus more for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
  • Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
  • Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm asparagus spears with tight tips. Avoid any spears that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
  • To prepare the asparagus, snap off the tough ends of the spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally.
  • If you are using thick asparagus spears, you may want to peel them before cooking. To do this, use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the spear.
  • Cook the asparagus in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. Drain the asparagus and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Once the asparagus is cool, drain it well and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • To make the lemon-parmesan butter, simply whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • To serve, drizzle the asparagus with the lemon-parmesan butter and sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with lemon and parmesan butter is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses.
