Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 to 1/2 ounce dried morels or porcinis, or a combination of both
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 pound fresh shiitake or white button mushrooms or a combination of both, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
1 to 1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put morels, porcinis or both in a bowl with very hot water to cover; soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain morels and reserve soaking liquid. Cut morels in half; if porcinis are large, chop them roughly.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when butter is hot and foam has subsided, add shallots and reconstituted and fresh mushrooms to pan. Cook until shallots soften and fresh mushrooms have released their liquid and it has cooked off, about 10 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and 1/2 cup reserved liquid to pan. Bring liquid to a boil, cover, reduce heat so mixture simmers, and continue cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Add cream and tarragon or chervil and continue cooking, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly and asparagus is tender, about 4 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

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:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus. Use a sharp knife to trim off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, although this is not necessary.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. No matter how you cook it, be sure not to overcook it. Asparagus should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Use fresh morels. If you can, use fresh morels for this recipe. Dried morels can also be used, but they will need to be rehydrated before using.
  • Sauté the morels properly. Sauté the morels in butter until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use fresh tarragon. Fresh tarragon is essential for this recipe. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the asparagus and morels perfectly.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Asparagus with morels and tarragon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the asparagus is still tender and the morels are still crispy.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with morels and tarragon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of asparagus, morels, and tarragon is simply divine. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, the morels are earthy and rich, and the tarragon adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that ties everything together. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
