Asparagus in Sour
Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
1+1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cooked
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
dash cayenne pepper - to taste
salt & white pepper - to taste
dash paprika - to taste
Arrange asparagus in one or two layers in an oven-proof baking
dish. Place in a warm oven about 200 to heat while making
sauce.
Set about 1 inch of water to boiling
in the bottom of a double-boiler. Off heat, in the cold top
pan, whisk together the sour cream and eggs. Place over the
boiling water, taking care that the water does not touch the
top pan, and stir in the lemon juice and cayenne. Cook while
whisking until the sauce thickens. Season lightly with salt
and white pepper.
Pour sauce over the asparagus, sprinkle
lightly with paprika, and serve.
