Total Time:
10m
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
- Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain the asparagus and transfer to the ice water; drain again.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and mustard. Whisking constantly, very slowly add the oil in a steady stream. The aïoli should be quite thick. Whisk in the lemon juice and salt.
- Serve the asparagus with the aïoli and lemon wedges on the side. (Because the egg in this recipe is not cooked, there is a risk of food-borne illness.)

Quick Tip
In recipes that call for just a few ingredients, each one matters. Consider using organic eggs or eggs laid by grass-fed hens;
they have a fresher flavor.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
