A Spring Asparagus Dish From London’s Beloved River Café
Ahead of her appearance at the Edible Schoolyard NYC spring benefit this month, the restaurant’s chef and owner Ruth Rogers shares a recipe with T."Green and White Asparagus With Warm Prosecco and Anchovy Sauce
Yield: 4-6 servings
1 bottle good quality Prosecco
8 cloves garlic, cut in half lengthways
2 bunches green asparagus
2 bunches white asparagus
12 salted anchovy fillets (preferably Ortiz)
14 tablespoons unsalted Italian butter, cubed, room temperature
Crushed black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, cut in half lengthways
2 bunches green asparagus
2 bunches white asparagus
12 salted anchovy fillets (preferably Ortiz)
14 tablespoons unsalted Italian butter, cubed, room temperature
Crushed black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1.
Pour the whole bottle of Prosecco into a saucepan with all of the
garlic cloves. Reduce on a moderate-high heat until the liquid has
reduced and the garlic is soft. It should reduce to roughly just under a
glass.
2.
While the Prosecco is reducing, prepare the asparagus by snapping the
stalks at their natural breaking point, discarding the lower part. Peel
the stalks of the white asparagus. (You don’t need to peel the green
asparagus.)
3.
When the Prosecco has reduced, remove from the heat and stir in the
anchovy fillets. They will dissolve with the heat of the liquid. You can
use a potato masher to help break up the anchovies.
4.
Using a whisk, add the butter little by little, whisking vigorously to
make an emulsified sauce. Remove from the heat and finish the sauce with
a pinch of black pepper and a dash of the olive oil.
5.
Plunge the white asparagus into rapidly boiling, salted water first.
Allow them to cook for 4-5 minutes before placing the green asparagus
into the same water, and cook for another 4 minutes.
6.
Use a knife to test the asparagus stalks — there shouldn’t be any
resistance. Once they are tender, drain them well and dry on kitchen
towel. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Arrange them on a plate
and pour the sauce over liberally."
