Asparagus Gribiche is perfect for your next spring brunch or an Easter dinner. Gribiche is kind of like egg salad made into a sauce, French style, with hard boiled eggs, capers, parsley and thyme.

Ingredients

Roasted Asparagus

  • 1 bundle asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Gribiche (Sauce)

  • 3 hard boiled eggs
  • ¾ teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar ideally Marukan Seasoned Gourmet Rice Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon country mustard
  • 1 tablespoon capers coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt optional
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green tops of scallions

Instructions

Asparagus

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Slice off the bottom ⅓ of the asparagus and discard. Wash and dry the asparagus. Toss in olive oil and arrange on the baking sheet.
    Sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.

Gribiche (Sauce)

  • Remove the yolk from one of the hard boiled eggs, and place in a medium bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork and whisk in the garlic, rice vinegar, mustard, capers, parsley, and thyme leaves.
  • Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Add salt to taste - you may not need any because of the capers.
  • Lay the roasted asparagus on a serving dish, top with the sauce.
  • Julienne the remaining eggs and arrange on top. I use a potato ricer with the disk of the smallest holes, and it works fabulously.
  • Finish with the green tops of the scallions.
