Asparagus With Sauce Gribiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the asparagus with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Remove from the grill and place on a serving platter.
• Place the cooked egg yolks, tarragon, capers, cornichons, salt, and pepper in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until just combined. With the processor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Add enough white wine vinegar to make the sauce thin enough to drizzle. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Drizzle the sauce over the asparagus and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath.
• Cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes depending on size; plunge into water bath, then pat dry with paper towels.
• Asparagus can also be pan fried, just until the tips are golden, instead of blanching.
• Coarsely chop the egg whites and set aside; push the yolks through a sieve into a medium sized bowl.
• Separate the egg and place the yolk into a large bowl; reserve the white for another use.
• Whisk mustard and vinegar into the egg yolk; season with salt and pepper.
• Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified and thickened.
• Fold in capers, cornichons, herbs, egg whites, and egg yolks; taste and season again with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Arrange asparagus on a serving platter, or individual plates; top with several dollops of the sauce and garnish with parsley or chervil sprigs.
• NOTE: If substituting with mayonnaise, use about 1/2 cup of that (or more to taste) and leave out the egg entirely. Use mustard and vinegar to taste as well as the salt and pepper. Leave out the oil.

Steps:

• For the London broil: Set a large resealable plastic bag in a medium saucepan and pull the edges of the bag over the sides of the pan for easy access to the bag. Add the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag and whisk to combine. Add the London broil and seal the bag tightly. Remove the bag from the pan and use your hands to rotate the meat, coating thoroughly in the marinade. Lay the bag flat on a cutting board and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, flipping the bag after 30 minutes. (The seasoned meat can also be stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.)
• For the gribiche: Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Use a large spoon to gently add the eggs. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Crack, peel and roughly chop the eggs.
• Whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, chives, capers and cornichons. Fold in the chopped eggs. Cover and set aside to marinate. (The gribiche can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; return to room temperature before using.)
• While the gribiche is marinating, position an oven rack about 4 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler to high. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat.
• Remove the steak from the bag and discard any stuck-on garlic cloves. Pull the preheated sheet pan from the oven and place the steak in the center. Broil until nicely charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the steak registers between 120 and 125 degrees F, 6 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer the steak to the cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the asparagus: While the steak rests, add the asparagus to the same sheet pan and toss with the olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Broil until the asparagus is vibrantly green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the asparagus among plates and spoon the gribiche over the top. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and divide among the plates.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all ingredients except parsley. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. When ready to serve, mix in parsley. Serve with cold meat like leftover leg of lamb or roast chicken; also good on roast vegetables like carrots and turnips, or good-quality cold cuts like rare roast beef or turkey breast.

Steps:

• Whisk together Dijon, vinegar, and oil. Stir in eggs, parsley, cornichons, and capers. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the peeled and trimmed asparagus, lemon zest, and salt & pepper; stir to combine.
• Cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over cook.
• Arrange on serving platter and squeeze with fresh lemon juice.
• Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Cut the butter into four pieces and place in a 1-quart glass measure or bowl. Microwave, covered with a paper towel, on high, until almost melted (about 45 seconds to 1 minute).
• Remove butter from the microwave and stir until completely melted.
• Separate eggs, placing the yolks in a small bowl and setting the whites aside for another purpose. Beat the yolks well with a whisk or fork, then add to the butter and stir well.
• Add cream, lemon juice, and sugar to egg mixture and stir well. Microwave mixture, uncovered, on high, until just slightly thick, about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping every 20 seconds to stir with a fork. Remove sauce from microwave and stir in the mustard.
• Pour warm sauce over the cooked white asparagus and serve at once. Garnish with fresh snipped parsley or fresh small edible flowers such as violets or Johnny jump-ups, if desired.
• NOTE: Sauce may be kept warm for up to 2 hours in an insulated container. Or cool the sauce to room temperature and refrigerate it in a covered microwave safe container for up to 24 hours. To re-warm, cover container with plastic wrap, pierce wrap with a knife to vent, and microwave on 50 percent power until heated through, about 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through. Do not allow sauce to boil.

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice in small bowl to blend. Stir in chopped eggs, capers, parsley, tarragon, and shallot. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
• Cut off bottom 1 inch from each asparagus spear. Using vegetable peeler, peel each spear from about 2 inches below tip to base to remove stringy outer layer. Bring large saucepan of salted water to boil. Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon into boiling water; add lemon half, butter, and sugar. Add asparagus and cook just until tender when pierced with knife or skewer, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness and color. Using slotted spoon or tongs, remove asparagus from saucepan and transfer to platter to cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
• Just before serving, add 3 tablespoons olive oil to sauce and stir without overmixing (sauce should have coarse texture and olive oil should be slightly separated). Arrange asparagus decoratively on platter or individual plates. Drape salmon slices over. Spoon a few tablespoons sauce over; drizzle lightly with additional olive oil. Serve, passing remaining sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Whisk together mustard, white-wine vinegar and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl until emulsified.
• Fold in the cornichons, capers and eggs.
• Stir in the parsley and tarragon, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange asparagus spears in a shallow baking dish.
• Whisk together half-and-half, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, ground mustard, red pepper flakes, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Pour mixture over asparagus and swirl the dish so that the liquid coats the bottom of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is soft and cheese sauce starts to bubble, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
