With lovely fresh pan-boiled asparagus OM NOM NOM
Yeah this. Is awesome. So much lighter and cleaner and tastier than restaurant versions, probably because it was ultra-fresh. Even by the time I was finished eating it it was starting to glump up--so eat it right away! I also saw suggestions that it can be held in a dish full of hot water. Or... you could just eat it.
Notes: This is tricky, to be sure. I 1/3'd the recipe because it was just me, and that was the right amount to eat but it was awfully tricky to do in this small amount. I don't know if it's worth making more and just wasting it, but this is hard. The main thing is to use a small bowl because whisking just one egg yolk is hard in a big bowl; I also think temperature regulation would be easier with more eggs. While whisking in the butter I had a hard time keeping it at an appropriate temperature; can't be too hot or it will break, but if it's not hot then the butter won't melt in. Check out alternate methods like doing this in the blender. The proportions in this recipe are just right, follow them closely, with perhaps a little more lemon juice (I like it lemony).
yup
