Simmered Asparagus & “Lemonnaise”
*******
This is a
simple recipe with a simple sauce that Greg dubbed “lemonnaise”.
One large bunch
asparagus
Salt
1/3 C Mayonnaise,
more or less (just guess as you scoop it out into a bowl)
Juice of ½ to 1 fresh
lemon, more or less (whisk in enough to desired consistency)
Parsley or cilantro
garnish
- Wash and snap off tough ends of
asparagus, or peel off tough ends with a vegetable peeler.
- Fill
large pot with water. Add a few
tablespoons of salt. Bring to a
boil. Add asparagus and bring back
up to a boil.
- Lower
heat and simmer asparagus for 4 minutes or until tender.
- While
asparagus is cooking, make Lemonnaise.
In small mixing bowl, add mayonnaise and drizzle in 1 tablespoon
lemon juice. Whisk until
smooth. Add more lemon juice and
whisk. Keep adding lemon juice
until you have a smooth, creamy, pourable sauce.
- Drain and
put asparagus on serving platter.
- Either
pass around with the “lemonnaise” and people can pour it on themselves, or
pour lemonnaise across the center of all the asparagus on the platter.
- Sprinkle
with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired
