ASPARAGUS MOUSSELINE



Asparagus Mousseline image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large egg yolks
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch leeks, trimmed, separated and rinsed in water to remove dirt and sand
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound fresh asparagus

Steps:

  • For the mousseline sauce: Place the egg yolks and citrus juices in a bowl over simmering water or in a double boiler. Cook, whisking, until thick and frothy with a ribbonlike texture, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the leeks: Thinly slice the leeks into matchsticks. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the leeks and saute until translucent and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the asparagus: Bring a medium saucepan filled with cold water to a simmer, then add the salt. Cut the tough ends from the bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch the asparagus in the simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, add ice to a medium mixing bowl filled with cold water. Add the blanched asparagus to the ice water to stop the cooking. Once the asparagus have chilled, remove from the ice water and pat dry.
  • Arrange the leeks on a serving platter. Lay the asparagus on top. Glaze the asparagus with the mousseline sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Seared tuna & asparagus niçoise image

Source tuna from a good-quality fishmonger to make this stunning seared tuna & asparagus niçoise salad. It should be sashimi-grade so can be safely eaten raw

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

300g small new potatoes, halved
250g asparagus
3 eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
200g thick-cut sashimi-grade tuna loin, or 2 tuna steaks
3 large tomatoes, quartered
50g pitted Kalamata olives, halved
10 caper berries
5 anchovy fillets
½ small garlic clove, crushed
70ml extra virgin olive oil
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 12 mins, or until a cutlery knife can be easily inserted. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and leave to steam-dry. Add the asparagus to the pan and boil for 2 mins, then put in a bowl of ice-cold water and set aside.
  • Bring another pan of water to the boil over a medium-high heat and cook the eggs for 7½ mins. Drain, then add the eggs to the bowl of water with the asparagus.
  • For the dressing, bash the anchovies and garlic together using a pestle and mortar until you have a very smooth paste. Tip this into a bowl, then whisk in the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season.
  • To sear the tuna, heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 mins on each side, just until it has a slightly golden colour. Slice into thick pieces (it should still be pink in the middle), then peel and halve the eggs.
  • Toss the potatoes, asparagus, tomatoes, olives, caper berries and dressing together on a large serving platter. Top with the eggs and tuna slices, then season well and serve.

ASPARAGUS WITH MOUSSELINE SAUCE



Asparagus with Mousseline Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Dinner     Lunch     Asparagus     Boil

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds white asparagus
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
MOUSSELINE
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Snap the ends off the asparagus. Then, using a vegetable peeler, peel about 2 inches off the thickest part of the stems.
  • Bring a big pot of water, with the salt and the sugar, to a boil. Drop in the asparagus, and cook for about 15 minutes, depending on the thickness. Pierce with a fork to see if they are tender; white asparagus should be cooked softer than green asparagus. Drain, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, to make the mousseline, separate the egg, and put the yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the mustard, red-wine vinegar, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Pulse to combine. With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the oil until it emulsifies and you have a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
  • Beat the egg white to stiff peaks. Mix half of the beaten egg white into the mayonnaise, then gently fold in the other half to make a very fluffy mousseline. Serve the hot asparagus with the mousseline on the side.

Tips:

  • For the perfect mousseline, make sure the fish and asparagus are finely chopped and the eggs are well beaten.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the fish and asparagus by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the mousseline will be less rich and creamy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mousseline. It should be cooked through but still slightly creamy in the center.
  • Serve the mousseline immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Tuna and asparagus mousseline is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
