Crab And Asparagus Vol-Au-Vents
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 spring onion finely sliced
- 3 sprigs fresh parsley
- 5 black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup butter cubed, plus 1 tsp
- 4 egg yolks lightly beaten
- 1 lemon zested
- 24 vol-au-vent cases
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed, blanched, sliced
- 7 ounces crab meat drained
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Gently simmer wine, vinegar, onion, parsley, peppercorns and 1 tsp butter for 4-5 mins, or until liquid has reduced to about 1/4 cup. Strain liquid, discarding solids.
- Combine egg yolks and reserved liquid in heatproof bowl. Place over a double boiler and whisk for 6 mins, or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Whisk in butter, one cube at a time, until incorporated. Add lemon zest. Season.
- Meanwhile, arrange vol-au-vents on a baking tray. Bake for 5 mins, or until pale golden. Distribute hollandaise sauce between cases. Add asparagus and bake for 5-10 mins, or until golden. Top with crab. Serve warm.
