Preparation

  1. Prepare the sauce base

    3 min

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the mustard and vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper.

    Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a stable mayonnaise.

  2. Make the mayonnaise

    5 min

    Slowly pour in the neutral oil while whisking continuously until a thick and creamy mayonnaise forms.

    Add the oil gradually to ensure proper emulsification.

  3. Add the mix-ins

    2 min

    Fold in the chopped egg whites, shallot, pickles, capers, and chives. Mix gently to create a rich, textured rémoulade sauce.

    Finely chop the ingredients for the best texture.

  4. Cook the asparagus

    15 min

    Cook the white asparagus in salted boiling water or steam until tender but still slightly firm. Drain thoroughly.

    Avoid overcooking to preserve the asparagus texture.

  5. Plate

    2 min

    Arrange the asparagus neatly on a serving plate and generously spoon the rémoulade sauce over the top.

    Serve the sauce slightly chilled for the best contrast.

  6. Serve

    1 min

    Serve immediately as a fresh and elegant starter.

    Perfect for spring lunches, brunches, or festive meals.
