ASPARAGUS WITH MORELS AND TARRAGON



Asparagus With Morels and Tarragon image

This dish is a French classic, a combination of strong, uncommon flavors that could have been designed to go together. Combining dried and fresh mushrooms is a reliable way to transfer the exotic flavor of truly wild mushrooms to tamer domesticated ones. Using the soaking liquid for the morels makes it certain that none of their essence goes to waste.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 to 1/2 ounce dried morels or porcinis, or a combination
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 pound fresh shiitake or white button mushrooms or a combination, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
1 to 1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2 -inch lengths
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
Salt
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put morels, porcinis or both in a bowl with very hot water to cover; soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain morels and reserve soaking liquid. Cut morels in half; if porcinis are large, chop them roughly.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when butter is hot and foam has subsided, add shallots and reconstituted and fresh mushrooms to pan. Cook until shallots soften and fresh mushrooms have released their liquid and it has cooked off, about 10 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and 1/2 cup reserved liquid to pan. Bring liquid to a boil, cover, reduce heat so mixture simmers, and continue cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Add cream and tarragon or chervil and continue cooking, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly and asparagus is tender, about 4 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the woody ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Cook the asparagus spears quickly. Overcooking will make them mushy. Blanching the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes is a great way to cook them quickly and evenly.
  • Make the tarragon vinaigrette ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the asparagus warm or at room temperature. This dish is best enjoyed when it is still slightly warm.

Conclusion:

Warm Asparagus with Tarragon Vinaigrette is a simple but elegant dish that is perfect for a spring or summer meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the tarragon vinaigrette adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. This dish is also very easy to make, making it a great option for a busy weeknight meal.
