ASPARAGUS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus With Mustard Vinaigrette image

Here is an easy, springtime recipe that takes no time at all and puts the light flavors of the season right onto your table. Cooking time is key: both the asparagus and the eggs must be watched carefully. Arrange everything on a plate beautifully, and throw open the windows to spring.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds large or medium asparagus
4 large eggs
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely cut chives

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
  • Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
  • To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound jumbo asparagus, tough ends discarded
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
Pinch of sugar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Peel lower two thirds of each asparagus stalk with a vegetable peeler.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Asparagus: Choose fresh, tender asparagus with tightly closed tips and no woody ends.
  • Prepare Asparagus Properly: Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and peel the bottom few inches if necessary.
  • Blanch Asparagus: Blanching helps preserve the asparagus' vibrant color and crispness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Make a Flavorful Vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon for extra flavor.
  • Assemble the Salad: Arrange the blanched asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese on a serving platter. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and garnish with chopped nuts or seeds.
