 The Dish Recipe CardThe Dish: Beacon Hill Bistro -- 'Asperge en Lit' -- Asparagus Salad with Fried Fresh Farm EggThe Chef: Jason Bond INGREDIENTS (serves four)
20 large green asparagus, peeled
4 farm eggs
2 Tablespoons whole sweet butter
1/4 lbs baby lettuces, washed and drained
1 shallot
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
sea salt
white pepper from a grinder
small block of Parmigiano-Reggiano METHOD
Boil the asparagus for two minutes and drain on a tea towel. In a large skillet, gently melt the butter and crack in the eggs. Cook them sunny side up, or to your preference. Lightly salt and pepper the asparagus and the eggs. Make a vinaigrette by mincing the shallot with a sharp knife, or grating it on a micro plane, and placing it in a small jelly jar. Add the oil and vinegar and a little salt and pepper. Twist the top on securely and shake to make a thick dressing. Divide the greens between each plate. Place five asparagus spears on each plate of greens and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Cover the asparagus with an egg and shave a little Parmigiano over all. Serve while still warm.
