How to cook deliciously - Asparagus Mimosa With Hard Boiled Eggs and Capers

1. Stage

Prep the asparagus: Break off the tough woody ends of the asparagus. If the asparagus are thick, use a vegetable peeler to peel off the skin of the bottom 1 to 2 inches of the asparagus.

2. Stage

Prepare a bowl filled with ice water:

3. Stage

Simmer the asparagus: Add enough water to cover the bottom of a wide sauté pan by about an inch and a half deep. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a simmer. Add the asparagus to the water. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how thick they are. Remove from heat and drain when they are just cooked through, but are still a little firm.

4. Stage

Shock the asparagus in ice water: Place the asparagus in the ice water to shock them and keep them from cooking further. Asparagus will start to turn olive green if it cooks too long, so you want to stop the cooking as soon as you take them out of the boiling water.

5. Stage

Make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the shallots, mustard, vinegar, salt, black pepper, capers. Whisk in the olive oil.

6. Stage

Grate the egg: Using a box grater, grate the hard boiled egg.

7. Stage

Drizzle asparagus with vinaigrette, sprinkle with eggs: Place the asparagus in a serving dish. When you are ready to serve, drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with the sieved eggs.
