Asparagus Sauteed in Butter and Mustard image

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.

Categories     Chicken     Herb     Mustard     Poultry     Sauté     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner     Chive     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Four 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slightly pounded, and flattened
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/2 cup brandy, apple brandy, pear brandy, or Kentucky bourbon
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock, or store-bought low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the butter in a wide, heavy-bottomed sauté pan until it begins to melt and foam. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the pan and brown them on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them over and cook them until well browned on the other side, about 6 more minutes. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch and the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • 2. Add the shallots to the same pan and sauté until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat, move the pan away from the flame, lean away from it, and carefully pour in the brandy, taking care not to let it flame. (If it does flame, cover with a pot lid until the brandy cooks out.) Continuing to be mindful of potential flare-ups, return the pan to the stove and let the brandy evaporate over low heat.
  • 3. Add the wine to the pan, raise the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Whisk in the mustard and let reduce for 1 minute. Pour in the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • 4. Stir in the cream and bring just to a boil. Stir in the chives. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer gently until the stock has reduced and thickened slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 5. To serve, put 1 chicken breast in the center of each of 4 plates and spoon some sauce over the top.
  • Your Nightly Specials Instead of chicken, use small beefsteaks or pork loin chops. Cooking time will vary based on thickness and desired doneness, but will be about 2 minutes more per side than the chicken.
  • For a spicier sauce, add 1 teaspoon hot, dry, English mustard to the sauce along with the Dijon.

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

50 g butter
50 g flour
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 2 tablespoons English mustard
450 ml milk
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons finely snipped chives

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the flour.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard.
  • Return the pan to the heat and gradually incorporate the milk, beating with a spoon as it comes up to a boil.
  • Season with salt and pepper and let simmer gently, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes.
  • This cooks the flour and thickens the sauce.
  • Stir in the chives, adding a touch of soup stock or water if it seems too thick.
  • Spoon over slices of ham.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the finished product will be. This is especially true for the butter and chives.
  • Make sure the butter is softened. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the butter. Overmixing can make the butter grainy.
  • Chill the butter before using. This will help it to hold its shape when it is spread on the asparagus.
  • Use fresh chives. Fresh chives have a more delicate flavor than dried chives.
  • If you don't have chives, you can use other herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, or thyme.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately after it has been cooked. This will ensure that it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Mustard and chive butter is a delicious and easy way to dress up asparagus. It is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal. The combination of mustard, chives, and butter is a classic that is sure to please everyone.
