Asparagus in Creamy Orange Maltaise Butter Sauce image

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.

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.
