Asparagus - Spring Ragout / Ragout Printanier
From AuntM 12 years agoIngredients
- 200 g (about 1/2 lb) fresh ham - coarsely chopped shopping list
- 1.5 kg (about 3 1/2 lb) green asparagus shopping list
- 2 kg (about 2 1/4 lb) fresh peas in the shell (20 oz bag of frozen baby peas will work, thawed) shopping list
- 2 cups or so white pearl onions shopping list
- 3 tbsp butter – the original does not say whether salted or unsalted shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- A squeeze of lemon juice (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- • Clean and peel the asparagus, except the tips, and cut into sections about 2" long. Blanch briefly in boiling, salted water, drain and shock in ice water to keep the colour bright.
- • Shell the peas. Peel the onions (blanching them quickly will make this easy).
- • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, add the onions and peas and let them sweat for a few minutes.
- • Add just under 2 cups water (a decilitre in the original), salt and pepper to taste, and cover. Simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
- • At the end of that time, add the ham and asparagus, stir and continue to cook 5 minutes or so until the ham and asparagus are hot.
- • Serve with good French bread, or over rice or noodles.
- • A squeeze of lemon juice before serving is optional.
- This can be prepared in advance and reheated.
