GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH POACHED EGG, PARMIGIANO AND LEMON ZEST



Grilled Asparagus with Poached Egg, Parmigiano and Lemon Zest image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch asparagus (pencil or standard)
High-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
4 slices rustic Italian bread
1 clove garlic
4 to 5 ice cubes
3 tablespoons white vinegar
4 large organic eggs
2 cups baby washed arugula
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat.
  • Holding the tip and stem of each asparagus spear, snap the asparagus where it will naturally break. Discard the ends. Toss the asparagus with oil and salt to taste. Grill the asparagus until slightly charred and pliable on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes for pencil or 5 to 7 minutes for standard. Remove to a platter and reserve at room temperature. Grill each slice of bread until crispy and slightly charred on both sides. Rub each piece of bread vigorously with the raw garlic clove. Reserve with the asparagus.
  • Fill a bowl with cold tap water and the ice cubes. This will be the holding area for the eggs after they have been poached. Keep the bowl near the stove.
  • Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds of the way with water. Add the white vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat on the burner until the bubbles in the water have subsided. Gently crack and drop each egg into the water. Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. When done, the whites will be cooked through and the yolks will be warm but still liquid. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the saucepan and place in the bowl of cold water. Reserve.
  • To assemble the salad: Toss the arugula with half of the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the salad until coated with the lemon and olive oil. Add more lemon juice and oil if needed. TASTE IT! The salad should be dressed and flavorful but not soggy. Divide the arugula among 4 individual plates. Arrange the asparagus on top of the arugula on each plate.
  • While dressing the salad, bring the saucepan of poaching water to a simmer. Gently return the eggs to the saucepan until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. When the eggs are hot, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and gently blot on a tea towel to remove any excess water. Immediately place 1 egg on top of the asparagus on each plate. Sprinkle each with some salt, Parmigiano and lemon zest. Drizzle each piece of grilled bread generously with olive oil and cut in half on the bias. Lean the toast halves against each egg.
  • Voila!

ASPARAGUS WITH MORELS AND TARRAGON



Asparagus With Morels and Tarragon image

This dish is a French classic, a combination of strong, uncommon flavors that could have been designed to go together. Combining dried and fresh mushrooms is a reliable way to transfer the exotic flavor of truly wild mushrooms to tamer domesticated ones. Using the soaking liquid for the morels makes it certain that none of their essence goes to waste.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 to 1/2 ounce dried morels or porcinis, or a combination
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 pound fresh shiitake or white button mushrooms or a combination, 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
pepper to taste

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.

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.

Time 20m

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Morel Mushrooms: Select firm, meaty morel mushrooms with a hollow interior. Avoid any mushrooms that are slimy or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the Morel Mushrooms Properly: Gently brush off any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not wash them in water, as this can dilute their flavor.
  • Use Fresh Asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, compact tips. Avoid any spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Cook the Asparagus Properly: Blanching the asparagus briefly in boiling water helps preserve its vibrant color and crisp texture. Do not overcook it, as this will make it mushy.
  • Poach the Eggs Perfectly: Use a shallow saucepan with simmering water and a splash of vinegar to poach the eggs. Gently slide the eggs into the water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches Carefully: Layer the morels, asparagus, and poached eggs on toasted bread. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Serve immediately while the eggs are still warm and runny.

Conclusion:

These morel and asparagus sandwiches with poached eggs are a delightful springtime treat that combines the earthy flavors of morel mushrooms with the fresh, crisp taste of asparagus. The poached eggs add a rich, creamy element that takes these sandwiches to the next level. Follow these tips to ensure that your sandwiches turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
