WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH MUSHROOMS IN BROWN BUTTER
White asparagus is not actually a special variety of asparagus. It is grown in the ground covered with sand or soil so it does not receive the sunlight needed to develop the chlorophyll that gives green asparagus its color. White asparagus tend be milder and more tender then green asparagus. I found that adding both sugar and salt to the water and boiling it for about 5-6 minutes was perfect. The brown butter is an excellent accompaniment to the white asparagus. Hope you like it!

Steps:
- Separate sliced onion rings and toss with vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside in refrigerator.
- If asparagus spears are thick, peel stalks and cut off tough stem ends. If they are thin, snap off bottom of each stalk where it breaks easily and trim ends. Simmer asparagus with water to cover until bright green but still a little firm, about 3 minutes for thin spears, 5 minutes or longer for fat. They can be a bit underdone. Remove to a towel to dry; asparagus will finish cooking as it sits.
- Put parsley, tarragon and capers in a bowl. Finely dice half the orange zest, then dice half the pickled onion. Add diced zest and onion to bowl. Stir in oil, mustard, orange juice and vinegar to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay asparagus on a platter. Ladle sauce over stems and tips and finish with remaining slivered orange zest and pickled onion rings. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

MAKARUNI WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS
Makaruni are traditional in Istria, a kind of pasta made when there was no time to roll, cut, and shape it. Rolling little pieces of dough between the palms of one's hands was quick and effective. My grandmother and other women of her generation were expert makaruni-makers. In no time, they would take a big batch of pasta dough and turn it into slim little noodles. Instead of rolling the bits of dough back and forth for a second or two, my grandmother could compress and stretch a piece of dough into a perfect makaruni with one swipe of her hands-and flick it right onto her floured tray in the same movement. Forming makaruni is truly simple, and once you start rolling, you'll quickly become proficient. Today, as when I was a child, the whole process is fun, so get the family to help and the makaruni will be done fast. And in a few minutes you'll enjoy the great taste and texture of your handiwork. This delicious sauce is traditionally made with gallinacci, or chanterelles, though other mushrooms can be used. Makaruni are also wonderful with the amatriciana sauce of tomato and bacon on page 228.
Yield serves 6 as a first course or 4 as a main course
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- To mix the makaruni dough, put the flour and salt in the food processor and blend for a few seconds. Beat the eggs with a fork, then mix with the water in a spouted measuring cup. Start the food processor running, and pour in the liquids through the feed tube. Process for 30 to 40 seconds, until a soft dough forms and gathers on the blade. If it doesn't and is wet and sticky, process in more flour in small additions. If it is dry and stiff, process in more cold water, by spoonfuls. Turn out the dough and knead it briefly, until smooth and stretchy. Form into a round, cover it in plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- To make makaruni, cut off a lemon-sized lump of dough; wrap the rest in plastic. Lightly flour the work surface, and have a floured tray close by. Pinch off six or so marble-sized bits of dough. Roll each between your palms, back and forth, into a strand about 2 inches long, and drop it on the floured tray.
- The makaruni won't be uniform, so don't worry if some are fatter and shorter or skinnier and longer. Cut more small bits for rolling, as needed, keeping most of the dough wrapped. Occasionally flour and toss the rolled strands and separate them on the tray, spaced apart in one layer so they don't stick together.
- To make the mushroom sauce, pour the olive oil into the large sauté pan, and set over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic, cook until sizzling, then scatter in the sliced onion and shredded sage leaves. Stir well, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until the onion is softened and sizzling. Add the sliced mushrooms, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon salt, and tumble the mushrooms over and over with a big spoon, mixing them with the onion and oil.
- Cover the pan, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are wilted and bubbling in their own juices. Uncover, raise the heat, and cook, tossing and stirring, to evaporate almost all the liquid. Clear a spot on the pan bottom, drop in the tomato paste, and stir it in the spot for a minute or so, until toasted and fragrant, then stir it all around the pan, to blend with the mushrooms and onions as they caramelize.
- Pour in 1 cup of the hot broth, salt again, stir well, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and cook at a bubbling simmer, stirring now and then, until the liquid has cooked down and the sauce is very thick. Stir in another 1/2 cup broth, and cook again until quite concentrated. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup broth, and cook now to a nice saucy consistency, dense but flowing. The addition of and cooking in broth should take about 15 minutes total. If the mushrooms are not tender, stir in more broth and cook them longer. Adjust the sauce seasonings, adding more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Meanwhile, heat 6 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in the large pot. Shake the makaruni in a colander to remove excess flour, and dump them into the pot. Stir well, and return to the boil. At first the makaruni will drop to the bottom of the pot, then rise to the surface of the water. Check for doneness by tasting and cook until just al dente, about 3 minutes or more at the boil.
- Bring the mushroom sauce back to a simmer-if it has thickened, loosen it with pasta-cooking water. Lift out the makaruni with a spider, drain briefly, and drop them onto the sauce. Over low heat, toss together until the pasta is fully dressed and cooked. Turn off the heat, and toss in the grated cheese. Serve immediately in warm pasta bowls.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, plump white asparagus. Look for spears that are bright white and have tightly closed tips.
- Peel the asparagus properly. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the asparagus, starting from just below the tip and working your way down the spear.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use high-quality chanterelle mushrooms. Fresh chanterelles have a slightly fruity flavor and a firm texture.
- Sauté the chanterelles in butter until they are golden brown. This will bring out their flavor and aroma.
- Serve the asparagus and chanterelles immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
Conclusion:
White asparagus and chanterelles are a delicious and elegant combination that is perfect for a special meal. With its delicate flavor and vibrant color, white asparagus is a spring vegetable that is sure to impress your guests. Chanterelles add a rich, earthy flavor to the dish and are a great way to add a touch of luxury. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a main course, this dish is sure to be a hit.
