We meant this recipe as a side dish, but one taste of this sumptuous asparagus and creamy straciatella cheese dish, given extra tastiness with dill-rubbed smoked salmon, and you'll be hard pressed to want to eat anything else.

White Asparagus and Gravlax Smoked Salmon with Bechamel Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

Directions
  1. Bring a pot of water with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus and place into a dish of ice water.
  2. Melt the butter in a sauce pot on medium high heat. Whisk into the melted butter the corn starch until fully incorporated, making a rue. Then add the milk and continue whisking at high heat until the milk begins to boil and thicken. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Plate the asparagus and wrap the Gravadlax salmon around the bottom half of the asparagus. Pour the Bechamel over the middle 3rd of the asparagus, leaving the tops of the asparagus showing. Then pour the Stracciatella cheese over the bechamel.
  4. Garnish with some micro greens and sliced baby heirloom tomatoes.
