Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal sausages
- 1 pound Asparagus (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim and wash the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends and set 12-16 tips (about 2-inch pieces) aside for garnish. Chop the remaining asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus (excluding the tips) and sauté for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Add the chicken stock to the skillet with the chopped asparagus. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes until the asparagus is very tender.
Transfer the cooked asparagus and chicken stock to a blender. Blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the skillet over low heat, stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice, and keep warm.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the reserved asparagus tips and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the veal sausages and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through.
To plate, spoon the asparagus sauce onto each plate, spreading it out with the back of a spoon. Place one veal sausage on top of the sauce, then arrange 3-4 sautéed asparagus tips alongside it.
Garnish each plate with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
