Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise
- 1 pound asparagus medium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra-virgin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 x black pepper freshly ground
- 1 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted about 1/2 stick
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Preheat oven to 450F (230C).
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus.
- Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly.
- Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
- Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne in a blender.
- Pulse a couple times to combine.
- Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted.
- With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce.
- If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up.
- Season with the salt and serve immediately or keep warm in a small heat-proof bowl set over hot (but not simmering) water until ready to serve.
- Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter.
- Grind a generous amount of pepper over the top.
