ASPARAGUS WITH MISO BUTTER



Asparagus With Miso Butter image

This combination of miso and butter is natural and delicious, too. Miso butter looks a little like cake frosting and is just as easy to lick off the fingers. With the egg yolk dripping onto the butter and the asparagus spears dipped into the eggy, miso slurry, you're looking at a four-star dish at a neighborhood restaurant - or at home.

Time 20m

Yield 2 main course servings or 4 starters

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons oil or rendered pork or bacon fat
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and peeled if necessary
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup not-too-salty miso, preferably white
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
2 poached (or warm-bath-cooked) eggs

Steps:

  • Put oil or fat in skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add as much asparagus as will fit in a layer, add salt and pepper to taste, and toss and stir until browned and shriveled, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, over low heat in a small saucepan, warm and whisk together miso and butter, so they combine, and butter softens but does not melt. Whisk in vinegar and keep warm. Warm a serving plate.
  • When asparagus is done, put some miso butter on bottom of serving plate. Blot excess fat from asparagus if you like, put on top of the miso butter, and top with poached eggs. Serve immediately.

Categories     side-dish

Time 31m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch asparagus
7 strips smoked bacon, cut in 1/2
1/4 cup Shiro miso paste (white miso paste)
1/2 cup mirin rice wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch lemon zest
1 tablespoon sugar
Bamboo toothpicks, soaked in water

Steps:

  • Trim and peel the root end of the asparagus to remove the tough outer skin. Slice asparagus in half keeping the tips and bases separate. Lay half bacon strips out on your cutting board. Lay a base piece and a tip piece on each slice of bacon, then roll it up and secure with a bamboo toothpick through the middle at a 90 degree angle.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine miso, mirin, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar. Stir with a whisk and use a pastry brush to baste the skewers as they cook on the grill - about 2 to 3 minutes per side on high.
