White asparagus has a delicate flavor that works especially well with our truffle vinaigrette, but try the dish with green asparagus, too. Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1 (15-gram) bottled black truffle (1 inch in diameter), finely minced |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for sprinkling |
4 1/2 tablespoons hazelnut or walnut oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken broth or truffle liquid from bottle |
1 1/2 pound white asparagus, peeled and trimmed |
garnish: fresh chervil sprigs or chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, truffle, kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in broth and season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
2. Arrange asparagus on a steamer rack and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Steam asparagus, covered, over boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes for white (4 to 6 for green).
3. Transfer asparagus with tongs to paper towels and pat dry. Divide among 4 plates, then spoon vinaigrette over and serve warm.
