Categories     sauces and gravies, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large white asparagus
2 tablespoons chives, cut in 3/4-inch lengths
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground white pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup salted cashews
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the dry ends off the asparagus. If necessary, peel the fibrous exterior of the bottom half of each spear. Cut the top 3 1/2 inches of each stalk and set aside. Using a sharp knife, very finely julienne two or three of the stalk bottoms (reserve the rest for another use) and place in a small bowl. Add the chives, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • On a sheet of heavy-duty or a double layer of aluminum foil, place the asparagus tips standing up and crimp the foil around them at the bottom so that they remain standing. Add the butter on top of the spears, and continue to crimp the foil closely around the spears, sealing it closed at the top. Place in the oven and roast until barely tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the cashew cream.
  • In a food processor, pulse the cashews into a fine powder; be careful not to over-process and turn into a paste. Place 2/3 of the ground cashews into a small saucepan; set aside the remainder for garnish. Add the milk to the pan, with 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off heat. Mix well; set aside.
  • When the asparagus is ready, open the packet and baste it with the juices from the bottom of the foil. On each of 4 small plates, arrange a spoonful of cashew cream and top with two asparagus tips. Place the asparagus julienne on the side and garnish with crushed cashews.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh white asparagus. If you can't find fresh white asparagus, you can use green asparagus, but it will have a slightly different flavor.
  • To peel the asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer. Start at the bottom of the stalk and work your way up. You can also snap off the tough ends of the asparagus by bending them until they snap.
  • To cook the asparagus, you can either steam it, boil it, or roast it. Steaming is the gentlest method and will preserve the most nutrients. Boiling is a quick and easy method, but it can make the asparagus mushy if you overcook it. Roasting is a great way to get a slightly caramelized flavor on the asparagus.
  • To make the cashew cream sauce, you can use either raw or roasted cashews. If you use raw cashews, you will need to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending them. Roasted cashews will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • To serve the asparagus, you can either drizzle it with the cashew cream sauce or spoon the sauce over the asparagus. You can also garnish the asparagus with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Conclusion:

White asparagus with cashew cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the cashew cream sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
