STEAMED ASPARAGUS WITH HERB SAUCE



Steamed Asparagus With Herb Sauce image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds asparagus
10 fresh basil leaves
4 sprigs watercress, plus additional watercress for garnish
5 large mint leaves
1 small handful parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Course salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Wash the asparagus carefully and gently scrape them to remove all trace of soil. Tie together, according to size, with string. Put the asparagus into two inches of boiling, salted water. Cook, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, according to size; the asparagus should remain al dente. Drain and put into cold water briefly to cool rapidly and to maintain color. Drain on paper towels, then place on a round platter, tips toward the center.
  • Prepare a sauce with the remaining ingredients. Place all the herbs except for the additional watercress in a blender, add the salt and pepper, and blend for a second. Add the lemon juice and then the oil in a trickle to the blender on low speed. Pour the sauce over the cooled asparagus. Garnish with the reserved watercress. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the woody ends. If the spears are thick, peel the bottom two inches of the spears with a vegetable peeler.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use high-quality sesame oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a high-quality oil. Look for sesame oil that is dark in color and has a nutty aroma.
  • Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the asparagus warm, you can place it in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Sesame asparagus sauté is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright green color and nutty flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit. The simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions make this recipe a great option for beginner cooks. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give sesame asparagus sauté a try.
