Asparagus
1 bundle of asparagus
4 egg
pinch of sea salt
200 g small shrimp
4 radishes, julienned
Sauce
2/3 cup frozen, shelled edamame
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the edamame for about 1 minute (do not overcook to preserve the colour). Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.

  2. Using a mini food processor, blend together all the sauce ingredients until the texture is smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.

  3. Place the eggs (in their shells) in a saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch of water. Cover the saucepan and place it on high heat, and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Use a colander to strain the eggs, then immediately run them under cold water.

  4. Delicately shell the eggs on the countertop. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and use a knife to finely chop them. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  5. Chop off the hard, fibrous ends of the asparagus spears.

  6. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes until they are still crisp. Plunge the asparagus into ice water, drain and set aside.

  7. Distribute the sauce, asparagus, egg whites and yolks, and shrimp on four plates. Garnish with the radish and dill. Serve and enjoy!

 Notes

  • To transform this recipe into a meal salad, add a whole grain, such as quinoa, and reduce the number of servings to two.
  • Don’t hesitate to vary the asparagus cooking method in this recipe e.g. grilled, prepared on the stovetop, steamed. A vegetable’s flavour can vary depending on how it is cooked.
