ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS



Asparagus Salad With Hard-Boiled Eggs image

A classic Italian salad, there are many versions of this dish. Sometimes the asparagus are not cut up, just topped with chopped hard-boiled eggs and vinaigrette. I like to cut them into pieces and toss everything together.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH COUNTRY HAM, RED-EYE GRAVY, AND POACHED EGGS



Roasted Asparagus with Country Ham, Red-Eye Gravy, and Poached Eggs image

Categories     Sauce     Egg     Side     Poach     Roast     Ham     Asparagus     Healthy     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Asparagus
1 pound asparagus, trimmed or peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ham and Gravy
4 thin slices country ham (about 6 ounces)
1 cup strong black coffee
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Eggs
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
Pinch of sea salt
1 or 2 large eggs per person
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Asparagus
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast until the color intensifies to a bright green and the asparagus spears are tender with crispy edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover loosely to keep warm.
  • Ham and Gravy
  • While the asparagus is in the oven, heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until the meat is warmed through and begins to brown slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and cover loosely to keep warm.
  • Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the heat and add the coffee and butter. Stir to mix, scraping the bottom and sides to incorporate any bits of meat. Cook until the gravy reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the dish is assembled.
  • Eggs
  • Fill another large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add the vinegar and salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and poach for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks (see Know-how, below). Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
  • Assembly
  • Divide the asparagus evenly between individual serving plates or place on a large serving platter and top with the ham. Place 1 or 2 eggs on each slice of ham and spoon the gravy on top. Sprinkle with the tarragon and additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve hot.
  • Know-how: Making Poached Eggs
  • Poached eggs are as healthy as hard-boiled eggs because they are cooked in water, and as versatile as fried eggs, with yolks as runny or firm as you please. They are easy to make, too. The touch of vinegar added to the water helps the eggs keep their shape while they cook.
  • Fill a large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Break 1 egg into a small bowl or measuring cup, taking care not to break the yolk. Quickly turn the egg out of the bowl into the simmering water so the egg keeps its shape when it hits the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, working in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks. For a firmer yolk, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.

POACHED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS



Poached Eggs and Asparagus image

This is a family recipe my mother made for me growing up. My grandfather had several acres of asparagus on his farm, and this was something they served during the spring and fall whenever asparagus was plentiful. This recipe is also good served with warm breakfast ham or Canadian bacon--just put in on the toast before the egg. Top this masterpiece with another slice of toast to make a sandwich and eat it on the go.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. The easiest way to do this is to bend each spear until it snaps naturally. The woody part will break off easily.
  • Cook the asparagus in a flavorful liquid. You can boil, steam, or roast the asparagus. If you're boiling or steaming the asparagus, add a little bit of salt and lemon juice to the water. If you're roasting the asparagus, toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. This usually takes only a few minutes, depending on the cooking method.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served hot or warm. You can drizzle it with olive oil, lemon juice, or your favorite vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and ham is a classic combination that is perfect for a spring or summer meal. This salad is a delicious and easy way to enjoy these two ingredients. The poached eggs add a rich and creamy texture to the salad, and the Dijon mustard vinaigrette adds a tangy flavor. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
