Description

This is a light, delicious appetizer adapted from a dish served at the Union Square Café in New York City.

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Asparagus, Washed And Trimmed Of The Tough Ends
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (or To Taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Or White Pepper To Taste

Preparation

Fill a bowl with ice and water and set aside.

Bring a shallow pan of water (make sure there is enough water to cover the asparagus) to a boil and add the trimmed asparagus. Blanch for about a minute and a half. Remove the asparagus from the pan and immediately plunge into the ice water.

Dry the asparagus and slice very thinly (use a mandoline or a food processor with a fine slicing blade, 2mm or less).

Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and lemon juice.
Season to taste with salt and pepper (freshly ground black or, if you prefer, white pepper). Add the cheese and toss gently.

I did not shave the asparagus, but it was delicious anyway. Super quick and very tasty.

this was a little labor intensive to do the shaving, but it was really tasty! it lets the asparagus star in the show, and it was still delightful for lunch the next day.
