Halfway between a vinaigrette and tartare sauce, this dressing has enough texture to add interest to a simple plate of asparagus and make it truly great.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 anchovies, roughly chopped

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 2 tsp baby capers, drained

  • salt and black pepper, to season

  • 1 large bunch asparagus, trimmed

Method

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the eggs for 8 minutes. Transfer immediately to iced water and allow to cool. Peel the eggs and chop them into 2cm pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the anchovies, mustard, olive oil, vinegar and capers and whisk to a vinaigrette. Stir through the eggs and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    To cook the asparagus, place the spears in a tray and pour boiling water over them. Allow to stand for a minute until just tender, then transfer to a serving plate. Season with salt and pepper, spoon over the vinaigrette and drizzle generously with extra oil.
