ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH HOLLANDAISE

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium asparagus
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
  • Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up. Season with the salt and serve immediately or keep warm in a small heat-proof bowl set over hot (but not simmering) water until ready to serve.
  • Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Grind a generous amount of pepper over the top.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound jumbo asparagus, trimmed, bottom halves peeled

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; let cool about 5 minutes. Put egg yolks in a blender. With motor running, gradually add butter. Add lemon juice and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. (Sauce should be thick but fluid enough to drizzle from a spoon, and should form a pool, not a mound. If too thick, thin with warm water.) Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sauce is best used immediately, but can be stored in a thermos about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Add asparagus, in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Serve warm or room temperature, with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus that is bright green, firm to the touch, and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus with woody bottoms or yellowing tips.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly charred flavor.
  • Make sure the asparagus is evenly coated with oil: This will help to prevent the asparagus from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the asparagus will not cook evenly.
  • Roast the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: You can test the asparagus by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the asparagus is done.
  • Make the Hollandaise sauce in a blender: This is the easiest way to make Hollandaise sauce. Just be sure to use a high-powered blender and blend the sauce until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served fresh out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can roast the asparagus and then reheat it in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus with Hollandaise sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The roasted asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, while the Hollandaise sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
