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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE --COURTESY MELISSA D'AR



Roasted Asparagus With Lemon Vinaigrette --Courtesy Melissa D'ar image

Simple, fresh, and bright. Serve warm or cold. Recipe by Melissa d'Arabian, winner of "The Next Food Network Star" 2009. Her show is called "Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian". This recipe is from "Savory Savings" episode. This would be wonderful dish for a picnic. COOKS NOTE: I had more asparagus then the recipe called for so I doubled the Vinaigrette but used only about 3/4 of it. Since you have the whole lemon anyway, you might as well double it. I did not want to saturate the asparagus but felt it needed more. I also used some of the lemon zest as a garnish and served it chilled. It was wonderful...

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 lb fresh asparagus, washed, woody stems removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash asparagus well to remove any sand from the tips, break off woody part of stem by holding the stalk at each end and gently bending until it snaps. pat asparagus dry.
  • In a large bowl toss asparagus with the olive oil, and liberally season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the stalks out on a baking sheet, in a single layer, and roast until tender but still firm and moist, about 10 minutes. If you are using the really "skinny" stalks, be careful not to over roast them.
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette, see Cooks Note:.
  • In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the mustard and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking quickly to emulsify the olive oil into the juice mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter, toss with the vinaigrette and serve. The dish may be eaten warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Asparagus: Choose fresh, vibrant green asparagus with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that appear limp or have woody ends.
  • Preparing Asparagus: Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or using a knife. Peel the lower third of the stalk if desired, especially for thicker asparagus.
  • Blanching Asparagus: Blanching asparagus helps retain its vibrant color and crisp texture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Homemade Vinaigrette: Making your own vinaigrette allows you to control the flavors and adjust them to your preference. Whisk together high-quality olive oil, vinegar (such as balsamic or white wine vinegar), Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, salt, and pepper.
  • Fresh Herbs and Cheese: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon into the vinaigrette for an extra layer of flavor. Crumbled Parmesan or crumbled goat cheese can also add a savory touch to the salad.
  • Toasted Nuts and Seeds: Toasted nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pine nuts, add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to the salad. Toasting them enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Serving and Storage: Serve the asparagus salad immediately after assembling, while the asparagus is still warm and the vinaigrette is well-blended. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
