Asparagus with a Poached Egg in a Dill and Caper Avgolemono Sauce image

Although hollandaise sauce is amazingly good, it is a guilty please given that it has a half a cup of butter in it. While I was enjoying the asparagus with a poached egg in hollandaise

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus (trimmed and cleaned)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/2 lemon (juice)
1 tablespoon dill chopped
1 tablespoon capers
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Cook the asparagus in boiling water until it just turns dark green, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain the water, reserving 1/2 cup of it.
  • Rinse the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg in bowl until frothy.
  • Slowly whisk in the lemon juice followed by the reserved asparagus water.
  • Heat in a small sauce pan while whisking until the sauce thickens, mix in the dill and capers and remove from heat. (Do not bring it to a boil.)
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium.
  • Swirl the water in the pot.
  • Crack an egg into a bowl and pour the egg from the bowl into the water. Repeat for the remaining egg.
  • Let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are not, about 2-3 minutes and fish them out.
  • Split the asparagus between two plates, top with the poached eggs and the dill and caper avgolemono sauce.
