Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, divided
1 tbsp chopped shallots
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp chopped roasted piquillo peppers
2 tbsp chopped seeded peeled plum tomato
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb asparagus spears, steamed and cooled
1 hard-cooked large egg

Place 1 tablespoon parsley, shallots, salt, and garlic in a mortar or small bowl; grind with a pestle until mixture forms a smooth paste. Stir in piquillo peppers and tomato. Add vinegar, oil, mustard, and black pepper; stir well to combine. Place asparagus in a shallow dish, and drizzle with pepper mixture.
