ASPARAGUS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus With Mustard Vinaigrette image

Here is an easy, springtime recipe that takes no time at all and puts the light flavors of the season right onto your table. Cooking time is key: both the asparagus and the eggs must be watched carefully. Arrange everything on a plate beautifully, and throw open the windows to spring.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds large or medium asparagus
4 large eggs
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely cut chives

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
  • Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
  • To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Mustard Vinaigrette image

A generous spoonful of Dijon mustard makes this vinaigrette creamy and tart. Use the dressing with sturdy salad greens like romaine or with softer lettuces like Bibb lettuce or oak leaf. The dressing is too strong to work with baby salad greens or mesclun. It's also great with cooked vegetables like beets or broccoli and with grain salads.

ASPARAGUS, BEANS & ARUGULA SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus, Beans & Arugula Salad With Mustard Vinaigrette image

Light and healthy. This can be a great starter, nice side salad, toss on some chicken or grilled salmon or scallops and make this a main dish. Perfect for a Holiday meal and is so easy. Store bought bagged greens, a can of cannelloni beans, a simple vinaigrette which is made ahead and uses fresh lightly blanched asparagus. Easy and quick and so healthy. You will spend a little extra for the micro greens, but it is well worth it. I took this on a big platter for a pot luck and topped it with my smoked salmon and the dressing. It was gone in 10 minutes. It really is a nice salad.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 6 Individual Salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups asparagus (cut in 2-inch pieces on an angle, ends trimmed)
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (you can add more or less if you want)
3 cups arugula
2 cups micro greens (you can use any of your favorites, I usually just grab what looks fresh, pea shoots are one that I l)
1 small onion, cut in half and very thin sliced
1 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated (parmesan will work fine, NO green can please)
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar (this is the key to this salad for me, but a white wine vinegar will also work)
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
salt
pepper
lemon wedge
fresh sprig dill

Steps:

  • Asparagus -- In a small sauce pan, fill with about 1" or a bit less of water and salt and bring to a low boil. Add the asparagus and cook, just 2-3 minutes depending on it's thickness. Then immediately remove and add to a ice bath. Just a bowl of water with ice. This will stop the cooking and keep the asparagus a bright green color (call blanching). Just let them cool off in the ice bath for a minute then remove and let drain and dry.
  • Vinaigrette -- Just mix the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon, sugar, salt, and pepper. I like to use a small tupperware and then I just shake it up. You can also mix it in a small measuring cup or bowl. Whatever is easier for you.
  • Salad -- In a small bowl, I like to add the beans (drained and rinsed), asparagus, dill, and just a couple of teaspoons of the vinaigrette (not too much) and toss well.
  • Greens -- On your serving platter, I add the arugula, micro greens, onion and a squeeze of one of the lemon wedges and another couple of spoons of the vinaigrette and toss lightly. Then top with the asparagus and bean mixture. Just lightly toss.
  • Top the whole thing with the pecorino romano, a sprig of dill and the lemon slices around the side.
  • Serve -- Grill some salmon or possibly chicken - slice and top the salad. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top. This makes an amazing dinner.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are vibrant green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have woody ends.
  • Trim the Asparagus Properly: To trim asparagus, snap off the tough, woody ends. You can do this by bending the asparagus spear until it naturally breaks. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of the spear.
  • Cook Asparagus Quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and loses its flavor. Steaming, roasting, or grilling are all good cooking methods for asparagus.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and dill add a burst of flavor to asparagus dishes. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the asparagus before serving.
  • Experiment with Different Vinaigrettes: Mustard vinaigrette is a classic dressing for asparagus, but you can also try other vinaigrettes made with different types of vinegar, oil, and herbs. Balsamic vinaigrette, lemon-herb vinaigrette, and honey-Dijon vinaigrette are all delicious options.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the delicate flavor of asparagus. With its bright green color and slightly sweet and nutty taste, asparagus is a welcome addition to any meal. The mustard vinaigrette adds a tangy and flavorful touch that complements the asparagus perfectly.
