Roasted Asparagus with Easy Hollandaise Sauce
By: Ashley Dew
Spring brings with it, among many things, asparagus and this is a perfect Easter side dish that is tasty, yet easy. Hollandaise dresses it up to 5-star standards.
The hollandaise recipe is adapted from Julia Child’s Hollandaise sauce in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It comes together in five minutes with just three essential ingredients: egg yolks, lemon juice, and butter or ghee. The cayenne pepper is optional, but as a result of living a decade ‘out west’, I like a little spicy kick.
