How to Make Asparagus With Morels
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. Cook asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Alternatively, microwave asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water for 2-3 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its vibrant green color.
- Gently pat the asparagus dry with paper towels.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of dried morels (or 4 oz fresh morels, cleaned and trimmed) to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and fragrant.
- Add the cooked asparagus, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of cold butter just off the heat to create a luxurious sauce.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh tarragon before serving. Enjoy!
