Asparagus with morels and tarragon from Gourmet Magazine, May 2007 (page 202)

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is okay but all the steps aren’t really worth it. I prefer asparagus stir-fried Chinese-style or roasted in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Still, it’s nice to try something different.

    Delicious! I love how the butter and lemon meld together to make a kind of eggless faux-holandaise sauce, and the morels are a special treat. Since I could not find white asparagus, I substituted purple, which sadly lost it purple hue while cooking, but still had a slightly sweeter taste that was reminiscent of the white variety. Unfortunately, I did not adequately snap off the ends of the purple asparagus, thinking that simply trimming and peeling it would be enough. Next time, snap! The bottom inch or two was too woody to eat. I also left out the tarragon since I didn't want to buy it just for this dish. Erroneously, Gourmet magazine and Epicurious list a total active time of one hour to make this recipe, which is crazy. You can easily make it in half and hour, or even faster if you start sautéing the shallots while the water comes to the boil for the asparagus and you prep the remaining ingredients.
