# Asparagus mimosa
|
|
|
|
## 'Mimosa' is the term applied to dishes garnished with hard-boiled egg
|
|
yolks pushed through a sieve. This is my more rustic version.

|
more for drizzling
|
|
|
|
1½ tbsp flat-leaf parsley, very finely chopped
|
|
|
|
1½ tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
|
|
|
|
4 eggs
|
|
|
|
Snap the base off each asparagus stalk and finely peel any of the skin that
|
|
looks tough.
|
|
|
|
Make the dressing by mixing the lemon and mustard with some salt and pepper in
|
|
a cup and whisking in the olive oil. Stir in the parsley and capers and taste.
|
|
|
|
Put the eggs in cold water and bring up to the boil. Cook for five minutes.
|
|
Briefly run cold water over them. Boil or steam the asparagus until just
|
|
tender (about four minutes). Meanwhile, quickly shell the eggs and chop them.
|
|
|
|
As soon as the asparagus is cooked divide it between six plates. Season with
|
|
salt and pepper and spoon the dressing on top, then put the chopped egg across
|
|
the middle. Drizzle with some more extra-virgin oil, grind on some black
|
|
pepper and serve immediately.
