Everyone knows that asparagus and eggs make a winning combo. But plump capers, firm radishes, and earthy chives — plus a touch of tongue-tingling heat from Aleppo pepper — knock this duo into a whole other gastronomical galaxy.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp. capers
- 2 radishes
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- fine sea salt
- tbsp. Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 lb. asparagus
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped chives
- 1 pinch of Aleppo pepper
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring eggs and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse capers. Then, in a small bowl, soak capers in cold water for 10 minutes and rinse again. Chop and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine radishes, 1 teaspoon oil, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Drain eggs and submerge in a small bowl of cold water with ice cubes for a few minutes, then peel. Chop and set aside.
- Bring a skillet three-quarters full with salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 1/2 minutes for medium spears. Drain, transfer to a large, wide bowl, and toss with remaining oil and a generous pinch of salt.
- Divide asparagus among 4 plates. Drizzle with any oil left in bowl. Top with reserved radishes, eggs, and capers, plus chives and Aleppo pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.
