Number Of Ingredients 11

1lb white asparagus (a bit more is fine)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
10 tbsp butter
3 egg yolks
1 tbsp white wine (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • WHITE ASPARAGUS 1. Peel the asparagus using a vegetable peeler and cut off the woody ends. (Handle it with care as it can snap easily, being almost 94% water). 2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the butter, salt, sugar and lemon juice and stir. Gently drop the white asparagus and boil for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how thick it is. 3. Gently remove the spears from the boiling water and plate. Serve immediately, drizzled with Hollandaise and garnished with parsley or dill. HOLLANDAISE SAUCE 1. In a small sauce pan over gentle heat melt the butter. 2. In a blender place the egg yolks and blend on slow for just a couple of seconds. Add the lemon juice, salt, white wine and hot sauce (if using). Blend again for a couple of seconds. 3. Slowly add the melted butter while blending, until it is all incorporated. Taste the Hollandaise sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer the sauce to a warm serving dish or gravy boat and serve. If you need to keep it warm, place the serving container in a pan with hot water so it does not separate. Do not try to microwave it or heat it up over direct heat.

SPARGEL - WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH EASY HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Spargel - White Asparagus With Easy Hollandaise Sauce image

A traditional spring or early summer dish of sauteed white asparagus (spargel), drizzled with a simple warm hollandaise sauce. Pairs beautifully with light, simple spring or summer fare such as slices of premium quality cured ham (try Black Forest ham), sliced boiled eggs and boiled new potatoes served with melted butter and sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley. Or salmon! A nice glass of white wine (such as Riesling), May Wine, or Sekt bubbly rounds out this delectable meal! Prost! This is a great make-ahead dish. Note: White asparagus (German : Spargel) is very popular throughout Europe and is the same variety as green, only it's grown covered in soil (hilling) to prevent photosynthesis. This prevents the asparagus turning green and results in a taste a little sweeter and much more tender. White asparagus must be peeled before consumption. White or green, asparagus is a delightful veggie to be enjoyed at it's peak in the spring or early summer time!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or unsalted butter)
2 lbs white asparagus, washed and trimmed
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh lemon zest
2 -3 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
fresh snipped parsley, optional to serve
fresh small fresh edible flower, optional to garnish (such as violets or Johnny jump-ups)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Warm the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the peeled and trimmed asparagus, lemon zest, and salt & pepper; stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over cook.
  • Arrange on serving platter and squeeze with fresh lemon juice.
  • Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Cut the butter into four pieces and place in a 1-quart glass measure or bowl. Microwave, covered with a paper towel, on high, until almost melted (about 45 seconds to 1 minute).
  • Remove butter from the microwave and stir until completely melted.
  • Separate eggs, placing the yolks in a small bowl and setting the whites aside for another purpose. Beat the yolks well with a whisk or fork, then add to the butter and stir well.
  • Add cream, lemon juice, and sugar to egg mixture and stir well. Microwave mixture, uncovered, on high, until just slightly thick, about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping every 20 seconds to stir with a fork. Remove sauce from microwave and stir in the mustard.
  • Pour warm sauce over the cooked white asparagus and serve at once. Garnish with fresh snipped parsley or fresh small edible flowers such as violets or Johnny jump-ups, if desired.
  • NOTE: Sauce may be kept warm for up to 2 hours in an insulated container. Or cool the sauce to room temperature and refrigerate it in a covered microwave safe container for up to 24 hours. To re-warm, cover container with plastic wrap, pierce wrap with a knife to vent, and microwave on 50 percent power until heated through, about 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through. Do not allow sauce to boil.

Hollandaise Sauce for White Asparagus image

Clarified butter is the key to achieving perfect, velvety hollandaise sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter
6 large egg yolks
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt
Cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Clarify the butter: Slowly melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; skim off surface foam. Pour clear layer of butter into a large glass measuring cup, leaving behind the milky residue in the bottom of the pan, which can be discarded. Let butter cool until it is lukewarm.
  • Meanwhile, place egg yolks and wine in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk vigorously until mixture is very pale and whisk leaves a trail, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove bowl from heat; continue whisking until mixture is lukewarm, about 30 seconds.
  • Whisking constantly, add butter to the egg mixture a drop at a time at first and gradually increasing to a steady stream. When fully incorporated, stir in the water and lemon juice, and season with salt and cayenne pepper, if desired. Serve immediately, or keep warm over a pan of simmering water removed from heat.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pinches of cayenne pepper
2 pounds fresh asparagus
Good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and cayenne in the jar of a blender. Blend for 15 seconds. With the blender running, slowly pour the hot butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is thick. (You can leave it in the blender at room temperature for up to 1 hour. If it is made in advance, add 1 tablespoon hot tap water and blend for a few seconds before serving.)
  • Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
  • Pour the hollandaise sauce over the warm asparagus and serve.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium asparagus
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
  • Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up. Season with the salt and serve immediately or keep warm in a small heat-proof bowl set over hot (but not simmering) water until ready to serve.
  • Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Grind a generous amount of pepper over the top.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Hollandaise Sauce image

Hollandaise sauce, that staple of brunch, is a classic accompaniment to eggs benedict and steamed asparagus. It is a "mother sauce," one of the five classic French sauces that provide the base for so many others. Master it and you've added a versatile weapon and technique to your culinary arsenal. As with bearnaise sauce and beurre blanc, keep an eye on your heat, and serve the sauce warm, not hot.

Categories     brunch, weekday, condiments

Time 10m

Yield About 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound butter
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon water
Salt to taste, if desired
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed
lemon juice to taste

Steps:

  • Put the butter inside a heatproof bowl or glass measuring cup and set it in a basin of simmering water. Let it heat until the butter is melted.
  • Carefully spoon off the white residue on top of the clear yellow liquid in the center. Carefully pour off and reserve the yellow liquid. Discard the milky bottom portion.
  • Combine the egg yolks and water, beating rapidly with a wire whisk. Place the saucepan in a larger basin of simmering water, beating constantly. Gradually add the clear yellow liquid, beating constantly while heating the mixture in the simmering water. Do not overheat. Beat and heat until the sauce has the consistency of a thin mayonnaise.
  • Add the salt, cayenne pepper and lemon juice and blend thoroughly.

Tips:

  • To preserve the white color of the asparagus, cook it in boiling water with a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • For a more flavorful hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter instead of regular butter.
  • To make sure the hollandaise sauce is smooth and lump-free, whisk it constantly over low heat.
  • If the hollandaise sauce starts to curdle, remove it from the heat and whisk in a tablespoon of ice water.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and tender.

Conclusion:

White asparagus with hollandaise sauce is a classic spring dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its delicate flavor and creamy sauce, this dish is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy asparagus, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
