Title: White Asparagus with Dill Hollandaise
Categories: British, Vegetables, Sauces
Yield: 1 Serving
3 Massive white asparagus
Spears
Melted butter
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Lemon
Dill
Egg yolks
Brush the asparagus spears in oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
In the meantime warm some lemon juice in a glass bowl over a pan of
not quite simmering water. Once it has reduced slightly mix in 3 egg
yolks. Whisk until frothy. Then add melted butter bit by bit whilst
whisking until you are left with a beautiful hollandaise sauce. Once
it is the consistency you want chop some dill and add to the sauce
which will exude on a alluring perfume that anyone who has been to
Scandinavia will instantly recognize.
Serve the spears with a generous dollop of dill hollandaise and tuck
in. I found this white asparagus to be more fibrous than the dainty
green variety common to late British springtime. But that said the
top two thirds of each stem were juicy, sweet and tender with only
the base being less than perfect. The dill hollandaise turned out to
be a fantastic foil adding a clout of additional taste that the
white variety seems to miss out on.
