Asparagus Radishes With Mint Recipe 45

ASPARAGUS & RADISHES WITH MINT RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut each stalk into 1-inch pieces. Heat the butter or oil in a large sauté pan over high heat and cook the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes, until it's warmed through and tender but still crisp. Slice the radishes into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp chefs knife. Toss with the asparagus in a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Pour over the vegetables and toss. Season generously with flaky salt and black pepper. Slice the mint leaves very fine and toss them with the vegetables. This can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature.

BROWN-BUTTER BASTED RADISHES & ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the butter gently in a non-stick frying pan. It will foam, then the solids will separate and begin to brown. This will take 15-20 mins - keep stirring, so that it doesn't blacken or burn.
• While the butter is browning, boil a large pan of salted water. Poach the radishes for 6 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Poach the asparagus for 2 mins, remove and put in iced water.
• Add the lemon juice to the butter, stir and keep over a very low heat while you add the radishes and drained asparagus. Baste them in the butter for 2 mins.
• Remove the vegetables from the browned butter and top with the parsley, plus a squeeze more lemon if you feel it needs it.
