Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce


Portions: 1


Ingredients

  • Asparagus
  • 1/2 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 115g Melted Butter
  • Lemon Juice (1/2 tbsp if 2 Medium Eggs or 1 tbsp if 2 Large Eggs)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Cold Water


Equipment

  • Two Saucepans (1 for cooking the Asparagus and a smaller one for the Sauce)
  • Whisk

Instructions

Asparagus

  1. Boil some water in a saucepan



  2. Prepare your Asparagus and when the water has started boiling, drop in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until tender
  3. Remove the Asparagus and pour over the Hollandaise Sauce and serve!

Hollandaise Sauce
  1. Add the vinegar to a small pan and bring to a boil



  2. Simmer the vinegar until it has reduced by half
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 tbsp of cold water
  4. Whisk in the Egg Yolks



  5. Put the pan on to a low heat and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened and has started to become frothy
  6. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Melted Butter
  7. Whisk in the Lemon Juice



  8. Add some Salt and Pepper and give one last swirl of the Whisk
  9. Serve the sauce immediately over the drained Asparagus
It can be a little bit like patting your head whilst rubbing stomach as you need to try and make sure both the Asparagus and the Hollandaise sauce are ready at the same time!

Personally I like to warm a plate in the oven and then boil the water in one pan and the vinegar in another pan, I then set a timer for the Asparagus and continue to make the Hollandaise Sauce and then when the timer goes off I remove the Sauce off of the heat whilst I plate up the Asparagus (on the warmed plate) and cover it with tin foil - I can then continue to make the sauce and pour straight over the Asparagus once it's made!


Serving Suggestion(s)

Best served as a Starter before your Main Meal but you can also serve as a side.

Homemade (Traditional) Pan Haggerty Recipe

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Chopping Board
  • Knife
  • Grater
  • Oven Dish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your Potatoes and Onion by thinly slicing them



  2. Melt your butter and drizzle a little in to the bottom of the oven dish and smear up the sides to prevent anything from sticking during the cooking process



  3. Place a layer of potato in to the oven dish and then a layer of the onions



  4. Drizzle a small amount of the Melted Butter over the top of the onions and add a little Salt and Pepper



  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you reach the top of your Oven Dish but ensure you always finish with a layer of Potatoes!



  6. Grate some cheese on top



  7. Cover in Tin Foil



  8. Bake in the over at 180° for 40 minutes
  9. Remove from the oven, take off the Tin Foil (add a little more cheese if you like)

     

  10. Put back in the oven at 180° for 10 minutes (or until the cheese has melted to your liking!



  11. Serve and enjoy - be careful of tucking in to it as soon as you remove it from the oven as cheese can be molten hot when baked in the oven and I wouldn't want you to burn your mouth!



    This photo doesn't do it justice, but the bubbles in the top corner show just how hot it can be when you first take it out of the oven.

Serving Suggestion(s)

Eat on it's own as an indulgent treat or serve as a side to a main meal such as homemade Toad in the Hole!
