This is an old recipe I found that I used to serve as an entrée at dinner parties. Ingredients:
2 bunches asparagus, ends trimmed |
1/2 bunch watercress, sprigs picked and washed and dried |
2 tablespoons light sour cream |
2 tablespoons good quality whole-egg mayonnaise |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place the asparagus in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water.
2. Cover and steam for 2-3 minutes until tender crisp and bright green.
3. Or microwave if you prefer.
4. Reserve 4 of the sprigs of watercress and place the remaining sprigs in the bowl of a food processor with the sour cream and mayonnaise.
5. Process until almost smooth.
6. Season with salt and pepper and taste.
7. Divide asparagus spears among serving plates, top with a watercress sprig and serve with the sauce.
