ASPARAGUS VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus Vinaigrette image

Asparagus is at its flavorful best for only a short time, usually between March and May, when you'll want to avail yourself of its abundance. There are, of course, a number of ways to prepare and serve asparagus, but this method, in which it is paired with a savory vinaigrette, is one of Martha's seasonal favorites.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), trimmed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
Pinch of sugar
Freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, and the asparagus. Return to a boil, and cook until asparagus are bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath to cool. Drain well, pat dry, and transfer to a serving platter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil. Add lemon zest and tarragon; whisk to combine. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Drizzle over asparagus. Serve immediately, or let stand at room temperature for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant asparagus stalks for the best flavor and texture. Look for spears that are firm and green, with tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus stalks by snapping off the woody ends. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom inch or two of each stalk.
  • Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water to tenderize them and preserve their bright green color. You can also steam or roast the asparagus if you prefer.
  • Make the tarragon vinaigrette while the asparagus is cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the warm asparagus immediately, drizzled with the tarragon vinaigrette. You can also add a sprinkle of freshly chopped tarragon or other herbs for garnish.

Conclusion:

Warm asparagus with tarragon vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side or main course. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the tarragon vinaigrette adds a bright, acidic flavor that perfectly complements the asparagus. This dish is perfect for a spring or summer meal, and it can be easily paired with a variety of other dishes.
