Asperges Mousseline

Asperges are grown during the months of April, May and June.  I so love this silky, slim vegetable that I only eat in season, and rarely will I eat it in a can or jar. 

Growing up in California, I was only familiar with the green asparagus. But when I arrived in France, I discovered the white asparagus and how it grows!

Asparagus is so versatile and can be served in many ways.

Here is the recipe for a Mousseline sauce : 

250 g beurre, 2 c. à soupe vinaigre, 1 pincée sel et poivre, 4 jaunes d’œufs, 1/2 citron, 1 dl crème fouettée.

Plat May

Saumon poché

The key to a successful salmon lunch or dinner is not to overcook the fish!

Delicately fry the salmon in salted butter, chop in some spring onions and rosemary. Cover, turn the heat off when the fish is still half raw inside, letting the residual heat finish the cooking time.

Prepare a bed of greens and a light vinaigrette and serve with the spring onions slightly caramelised.

Serve with a chilled Rosé or light Red wine. 

Vins May

Entrée : Château de Sainte Marie Bordeaux

Plat  : Aix en Provence rosé 

Fromage : Brie de Melun (Côte de Beaune, Vouvray)

Fromage May

Plateau de fromages : on my cheese board for this menu, I would recommend :

Brie de Melun: this is the said ancestor of all Brie cheeses, made from raw cow’s milk in the French city of Melun. It is AOP in France since 1905 and internationally since 1958.

Bread : baguette or a pain aux noix
