Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
3 large free-run egg yolks
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
salt & pepper, to taste
2/3 to 1 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. While the asparagus is steaming, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks and whisk vigorously until they get thick, about 1 minute. While whisking, add lemon and orange juice with the zest.
  • 2. Move saucepan over medium heat and keep moving it off the heat, whisking constantly. The trick here is to not shock the yolks and gradually heat them up.
  • 3. When the sauce gets thick, move the saucepan away from the heat and start adding the melted butter by pouring a few drops at first (don't shock the yolks), whisking continuously. Gradually add more until the sauce is nice and smooth (never stop whisking).
  • 4. Spoon over steamed asparagus, if not needed yet, move to the back burner, keeping warm on very low temperature. Makes 1 ¼ cups
