INSTRUCTIONS
This simple dish has such a compelling taste, you'll never have leftovers. Trim the asparagus, discarding woody ends. Steam the spears whole, for about 3 or 4 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. Do not overcook. Rinse in cold water, drain. Place the olive oil in a small bowl; add the mustard and beat until the oil thickens. Add the vinegar, salt pepper, shallots and tarragon. Arrange the still-warm asparagus on a serving plate and pour the dressing over it. Serves 3 or 4.
