Here are some recipes for a spring meal featuring asparagus and other Michigan products. Bob developed a delicious dinner recipe he calls Portabella Oscar. The first step is to make a béarnaise sauce. It is the finishing touch to a layer of tarragon mashed potatoes, portabella mushroom caps, and asparagus spears.
For a delicious meal, I serve this with spelt shortcake topped with strawberry – rhubarb compote.
Béarnaise Sauce (1 cup)
2 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3/4 cup hot butter (just off boil)
Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, vinegar, and tarragon in a blender. Process until combined. Then, on low speed add ¼ cup of melted butter. On high speed add ½ cup of melted butter.
