WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH ORANGE BUTTER



White Asparagus with Orange Butter image

White asparagus, which is grown without sunlight, to keep it from becoming green, is the preferred form for the vegetable in Europe. This recipe makes an excellent first course, with the mildly nutty flavor of the asparagus pleasantly offset by the citrus.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 large oranges
2 pounds white asparagus, trimmed and peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Leaves from 4 stems fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Juice 5 oranges over a sieve, yielding about 1 1/2 cups. Zest 1 orange. Using a paring knife, remove skin, pith, and outer membrane from remaining orange. Carefully cut each segment away from white membranes. (This is called supreming the orange). Set segments aside.
  • Place asparagus in a large saute pan. Add 1/2 inch of water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and steam asparagus to tenderize, about 8 minutes. Just before asparagus are fully cooked, drain liquid from the saute pan. Add 1/4 cup orange juice, and simmer until the asparagus are fork-tender. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and steam while finishing sauce.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups orange juice to a boil. Add vinegar, lower heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove from heat, and stir in butter, one piece at a time, until sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer asparagus to a warm platter, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with reserved orange segments, zest, and tarragon.

ASPARAGUS WITH MALTAISE SAUCE



Asparagus with Maltaise Sauce image

This side dish tastes so wonderful! The combination of this flavorful orange sauce over asparagus is simply perfect!

Provided by Francine Lizotte

Categories     Vegetables

Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
3 large free-run egg yolks
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
salt & pepper, to taste
2/3 to 1 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. While the asparagus is steaming, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks and whisk vigorously until they get thick, about 1 minute. While whisking, add lemon and orange juice with the zest.
  • 2. Move saucepan over medium heat and keep moving it off the heat, whisking constantly. The trick here is to not shock the yolks and gradually heat them up.
  • 3. When the sauce gets thick, move the saucepan away from the heat and start adding the melted butter by pouring a few drops at first (don't shock the yolks), whisking continuously. Gradually add more until the sauce is nice and smooth (never stop whisking).
  • 4. Spoon over steamed asparagus, if not needed yet, move to the back burner, keeping warm on very low temperature. Makes 1 ¼ cups

Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cream Sauce image

This easy side dish has loads of Parmesan flavor, yet it tastes light enough to not overpower the asparagus. The sauce comes together in minutes while the asparagus roasts in the oven. Quick enough for a busy weeknight meal. Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, as the bagged variety doesn't melt well.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus     Baked

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk

Sprinkle flour onto butter and cook, whisking constantly until mixture is golden and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a light boil until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and continue whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat - sauce will further thicken.

This is a recipes from a small book of great recipes called "Salads and Summer Dishes". I borrowed it and have made many of the recipes so far,with excellent results so this one is on the "to do" list. Maltaise sauce is a variation on the traditional Hollandaise sauce, but orange juice is added for a slightly different take, in flavour and colour to an old classic. Posted for ZWT REGION: France.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

450 g asparagus (1 lb)
3 egg yolks
1 grated orange, juice and rind of
salt
pepper
100 g unsalted butter, softened (4oz)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons heavy cream
orange rind twists (garnish)

Steps:

  • Wash the asparagus and snap off the ends to remove the tough part of the stalks. Tie the asparagus into bundles of 6-7 stalks and boil them for 10-15 minutes standing upright in a pan of hot water. Drain well.
  • To make the sauce, in a small metal bowl or pot beat the butter, egg yolks, salt, pepper and orange rind together. Place over a larger pan of hot water and whisk in the orange and lemon juice cooking over a gentle heat while adding the butter a LITTLE at a time, so that it thickens, don't rush this, becuase if the previous amount of butter has not emulsified before the next lot is added, the sauce will split.
  • Once it begins to thicken, remove from the heat and continue beating for a full minute, then stir in the cream.
  • Mix together well, the orange juice should have turned the sauce a soft shade of pink. Pour the sauce into a sauce boat and serve with the bundles of asparagus immediately.
  • Decorate the asparagus bundles with orange twists.

BUTTER-BRAISED ASPARAGUS



Butter-Braised Asparagus image

For the first-of-the-season asparagus, keep it simple with butter, lemon and sweet herbs. For the best texture, peeling the stalks really makes a difference.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds large or medium asparagus
6 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon snipped chives
1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley or chervil
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped dill, plus more for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
  • Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
  • Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus spears that are about the same thickness. If the spears are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may become tough.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the asparagus in a large pot of salted water. Just be sure to remove the asparagus from the water as soon as it is cooked to prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • To make the creamy orange maltaise butter sauce, be sure to use fresh orange juice and zest. The sauce will have a brighter flavor if you use fresh citrus.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Just be sure to whisk vigorously until the sauce is smooth.
  • Serve the asparagus with the creamy orange maltaise butter sauce immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is best to serve it while it is still warm.

Conclusion:

Asparagus in Creamy Orange Maltaise Butter Sauce is a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy with a hint of orange. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is easy to make.
