Asparagus with Oil and Vinegar |
|
Serves: 4
(Insalata di Asparagi)
Category: Asparagus
Makes 4 to 6 servings
As soon as the first locally grown spears appear in the spring, I prepare them this way and eat a big batch to satisfy the craving that has developed through the long winter. Turn the asparagus in the dressing while they are still warm so that they absorb the flavor.
1 pound asparagus spears
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

1 Trim off the base of the asparagus at the point where the stem turns from white to green. Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and salt to taste. Cook until the asparagus bend slightly when you lift them from the stem end, 4 to 8 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus. Remove the asparagus with tongs. Drain on paper towels and pat them dry.
2 In a large shallow dish, combine the oil, vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a generous grind of pepper. Whisk with a fork until blended. Add the asparagus and turn them gently until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.
