Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Tarragon vinegar to taste
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 pounds asparagus
Fresh tarragon leaves to garnish

Steps:

  • Cut peppers into quarters and remove stems and seeds.
  • Simmer peppers in water to cover until tender (about 10 minutes), keeping the red and yellow ones in separate pans.
  • Combine red peppers in a blender or food processor with a fourth of a cup of olive oil and enough of the cooking water to make a smooth puree. Add vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside. Repeat the process with the yellow peppers.
  • Cut tough stems from asparagus. With a vegetable peeler, pare away any tough skin from the lower half of the stalks. Rinse in cold water.
  • Either cook asparagus in steamer or tie it in a bundle standing in two inches of water. Cook until spears are tender but firm. Drain and place on individual plates. Cool to room temperature before serving.
  • Pour a small pool of yellow and red sauce on either side of the asparagus on each plate. Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve at room temperature.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've used different types of peppers and even added some chopped bacon to the coulis. It's always delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coulis turned out more like a sauce. It was still tasty, but not what I was expecting.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and chili flakes to spice it up.
