Asparagus Ragoût Recipe
Flavors of Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur
Cooking time: Under an hour
Total time: 1hr to 2hr
Preparation time: 20 minutesCooking time: Under an hour
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 500 g (18 oz.) green Asparagus
- 20 small new onions or pearl onions
- 1 head of lettuce
- 50 g (3 tbsp.) butter
- Crème fraîche (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- A few sprigs of parsley
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 1 large glass of water
Method
- Peel the asparagus, removing the earthy bottom ends; tie into a bunch;
- cook the asparagus for 15 minutes in boiling salted water; drain;
- if you are using pearl onions, peel and blanch them for 10 minutes in boiling salted water; if, however, you have small new onions, simply peel them;
- heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan; sauté the onions without letting them colour; sprinkle with a small spoonful of flour; add a few leaves of roughly chopped lettuce as well as some parsley;
- add a large glassful of water; combine everything well, stirring with a wooden spoon; let simmer covered for 15 minutes over low heat;
- season with salt and pepper;
- once this first cooking is completed, cut the asparagus into 4 or 5 cm lengths; add them to the pan where they will finish cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, still covered and over very low heat;
- taste and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper: it should be subtle so that the flavour of the asparagus and small onions comes through;
- stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche just before serving.
