ASPARAGUS WITH BROWN BUTTER



Asparagus With Brown Butter image

Writing in 1991, Jacques Pépin talked of his love of asparagus, stemming back to his childhood in France. His approach to the vegetable is as uncomplicated as it gets. "It is best when cooked in just enough water to steam it," he wrote. "It is ready - tender but still a bit firm to the bite - after a few minutes." Topped with a brown butter sauce, it's a perfect accompaniment to meat, poultry or fish, but also just as at home with some white rice, part of a simple weeknight meal.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 dozen large asparagus stalks with tight, firm tips (about 1 1/2 pounds; 4 per person)
1/2 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Peel the lower part (root end) of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler.
  • In a large nonreactive saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus in one layer, cover and cook over high heat for about 6 minutes, to the desired tenderness. Lift asparagus from the water (most of it should have evaporated) and arrange on a platter.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet until it is lightly browned and stops smoking. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and pepper, and pour the hot butter over it. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
