- 1 pound asparagus fresh, young, prefer thin stalks, bottoms trimmed off
- 1/2 pound puff pastry
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 medium lemon juice of
- 1 x salt to taste
- 1 x white pepper to taste
- 1 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
- Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface to 3" x 20" rectangle, 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the rectangle into 4 long strips, each 3/4 inch wide.
- Wrap each strip around a long metal cone (which can be made from heavy-duty aluminum foil), beginning at the tip and rolling the strip around and around, overlapping slightly.
- Place these on an ungreased baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- Bake pastry cornets until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Cool briefly, then very carefully the metal or foil cones.
- Combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
- Whisk in the oil a drop at a time.
- When the dressing begins to thicken, add the oil 1 teaspoon at a time, then continue adding oil in a thin stream.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Cook the asparagus, tied in bundles, in boiling salted water until it's just crisp-tender; drain.
- Pour a small amount of dressing on each serving plate.
- Place a cornet on top of the dressing and tuck the asparagus into the ends of the cornet, fanning the tips outward.
