GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH A BASIL-GOAT CHEESE SAUCE



Grilled Asparagus With a Basil-Goat Cheese Sauce image

This spring or summertime dish adds a touch of sophistication and kapow to grilling asparagus. It is based off of a sauce by Mean Chef, #41126, used with BBQ shrimp. The key lies in the contrast between seasoned, grilled aspargus and the subtle herbed cream. A possible variation would be to substitute cream cheese for goat cheese, though I have not tried it.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1 to 2 lemons
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds (1 1/2 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 lemon
3 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 tablespoon finely shredded fresh basil leaves, plus small whole leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Dressing: Place egg in a small saucepan; cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover pot and let stand 8 minutes. Run egg under cold water to stop cooking. Peel egg; remove white and reserve for another use. Press yolk through a fine sieve into a small bowl.
  • Meanwhile, remove peel and pith from 1 lemon. Holding fruit over another bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to drop in. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl; discard membranes. Coarsely chop segments (you should have 2 tablespoons). If you don't have 2 tablespoons of juice or segments, use second lemon.
  • Add mustard, lemon juice, sugar, and salt to bowl with yolk. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until creamy and emulsified. Stir in lemon segments; season with salt and pepper. Dressing can be refrigerated up to 1 week; return to room temperature before using.
