Asparagus with Creamy Egg Salad - Asparagi con Crema di Uova
Recipe Courtesy of Chef Mama Isa
In Veneto, Asparagus is frequently served with a delicious Egg Spread. This is my recipe! It is delicious as an antipasto or as a side dish.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4 people)
6 eggs
1 kg of Green Asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoons of White Wine Vinegar
8 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
50 g of Mascarpone cheese
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Place the eggs in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes (but covered). Remove the eggs and place in a bowl with cold water. When the eggs will be cool, remove and discard the shells. Cut 2 eggs with a egg slicer.
In a food processor chop 4 eggs with extra virgin olive oil, mascarpone cheese, salt, black pepper, and white wine vinegar, until creamy (if necessary add more extra virgin olive oil).
Place the asparagus in a pan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Cover and boil until just tender, about 5-10 minutes.
Serve the asparagus in a dish, sprinkle with more extra virgin olive oil and salt to taste, and with some slices of egg. In a small serving dish put the egg spread and with other slices of egg.
Serve with a slice of rustic bread.
