Best Quail Eggs And Asparagus Recipes

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH CELERY LEAVES, QUAIL EGGS, AND TARRAGON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Cover eggs with cold water in a very small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, 5 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold running water to stop cooking, then peel and quarter.
• Cut asparagus on a very sharp diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 inches long), leaving 2-inch tips. Halve tips lengthwise if thicker than rest of slices. Arrange asparagus on a steamer rack and sprinkle with kosher salt. Steam, covered, over boiling water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
• Whisk together vinegar and mustards. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Stir in shallot, 2 teaspoons tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss asparagus and celery leaves with half of vinaigrette and mound on 4 plates. Tuck quail eggs decoratively into salads. Drizzle salads and plates with remaining vinaigrette and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon tarragon.

QUAIL EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS AND WALNUT MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower quail eggs into the water; cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove and shell immediately.
• Add mustard, sherry vinegar and whole egg to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Blend for 3 seconds. In a cup with a spout, mix the 2 oils. With the motor of the food processor running, add the oils in a thin stream. Mayonnaise should thicken after about 3/4 of the oil has been added. Season with salt and pepper.
• Let eggs come to room temperature. Place ham slices on 6 small plates and spread 1/6 of mayonnaise over each slice. Cut eggs in half and place 3 halves on each plate. Garnish each egg with a small piece of black olive, and garnish each plate with 3 asparagus tips.

QUAIL EGGS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Method
• Shell the hard-boiled egg, then halve and scoop out the yolk into a bowl. Add the olive oil, olives, wine and vinegar, season with salt and pepper, pour in 3 tbsp of water and blend with a fork until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle over the parsley and marjoram and set the sauce aside. Trim the asparagus spears to the same length and tie in a bundle with kitchen string. Bring a tall pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the asparagus, standing it upright with the tips protruding above the water level. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper.
• Put the quail eggs into a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain off the hot water, cover with cold water and leave to cool. When cold, carefully shell and cut in half. Make a bed of lettuce in the centre of a serving plate. Place the halved quail eggs on top. Slice the asparagus spears lengthways and arrange them around the sides to resemble a nest. Pour over the sauce and serve.
