Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds white asparagus
salt and ground white pepper to taste
1 ¾ cups ground hazelnuts
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup hot vegetable stock
1 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch white sugar
1 pinch ground nutmeg
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 egg yolk

Steps:

  • Peel asparagus with a vegetable peeler from top to bottom, starting below the tips. Cut off any woody ends.
  • Place asparagus in a large, wide pan; pour in enough lightly salted water to just cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently until spears are tender and can be easily pierced with a sharp knife, 15 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain well.
  • Pour hazelnuts into a dry skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until a paste forms, about 2 minutes. Add hot vegetable stock and hot milk a little a time, whisking continuously until sauce is thick and smooth, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir hazelnuts, lemon juice, sugar, and nutmeg into the sauce. Season with salt and white pepper. Simmer gently over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk heavy cream and egg yolk together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk into the sauce. Simmer until heated through, but not boiling, about 2 minutes. Serve the sauce with the cooked asparagus.

I'm allergic to nuts. Is there a substitute for the hazelnut bechamel?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hazelnut bechamel turned out lumpy.

I was a bit skeptical about the hazelnut bechamel, but it was actually really good. It added a nice nutty flavor to the asparagus.
