BAKED ASPARAGUS WITH SHIITAKE, PROSCIUTTO AND COUSCOUS
In this satisfying, set-it-and-forget-it spring dinner, asparagus, mushrooms and prosciutto are steamed in a parchment packet under low heat. The technique was inspired by a recipe in Paula Wolfert's "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen: Recipes for the Passionate Cook." The parchment insulates the ingredients, while keeping the temperature steady and allowing the flavors to mingle. Here, the result is tender asparagus infused with earthy and sweet flavors from the mushrooms and prosciutto alike.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (it should be twice as long as the pan). Lay asparagus in a pile in the center. Scatter mushrooms and prosciutto on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper and nutmeg. Toss vegetables to coat evenly. Lay tarragon over top.
- Fold parchment to completely enclose vegetables, and staple top and sides shut (or tie up with string). Transfer pan to oven and bake for 1 hour. Asparagus should be just cooked through. If too crisp, return to oven until done to taste.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, bring 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons olive oil and remaining salt to a simmer. Stir in couscous and remove pot from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
- Spoon couscous onto serving plates and drizzle with oil. Divide prosciutto and vegetables, and their juices, among the plates and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
- Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

Tips:
- To select the best asparagus: Look for bright green stalks that are firm and snap easily when bent. Avoid any asparagus with wilted or yellow tips.
- To prepare the asparagus: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
- To cook the asparagus: You can roast, grill, or sauté asparagus. Roasting is a great way to bring out the natural sweetness of the asparagus. To roast asparagus, simply toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- To cook the shiitake mushrooms: Wipe the shiitake mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and slice the mushrooms. You can sauté the shiitake mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are browned and tender.
- To cook the prosciutto: Cut the prosciutto into thin strips. You can cook the prosciutto in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Drain the prosciutto on paper towels before using.
- To cook the couscous: Follow the package directions for cooking the couscous. Once the couscous is cooked, fluff it with a fork.
Conclusion:
Baked asparagus with shiitake, prosciutto, and couscous is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The asparagus is roasted to perfection, the shiitake mushrooms are savory and earthy, the prosciutto adds a salty and crispy touch, and the couscous is fluffy and light. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
