Unlike the green variety, white asparagus must be peeled before cooking and the woody base should also be removed as it is too stringy and hard to chew. Peel and boil the white asparagus for this simple and yummy recipe, then serve those “White Gold” with an easy blender Hollandaise spiked with sriracha sauce. If you are in a hurry, simply serve them with melted butter.
Hollandaise sauce, one of the 5 French mother sauces (Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Hollandaise, and Tomato), is an emulsion of egg yolk, melted butter, and lemon juice. Despite having “Holland” in its name, Hollandaise sauce was first born in France and was originally known as Sauce Isigny, named after Isigny-sur-Mer, a small town in Normandy famous for its butter and cream. When Normandy’s dairy production was shut down during World War I, the sauce was renamed “Hollandaise” to reflect the usage of imported Dutch butter.

- Bring a stockpot of water to a boil, add the salt, the sugar and the butter. Meanwhile peel the white asparagus and cut off the woody bottom ends.
- Place the peeled white asparagus in the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes until al dente. Melt the butter over a low flame until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat.
- In a wide mouth mason jar, add egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Blend the ingredients with your immersion blender while slowly adding the melted butter, a couple of tablespoons at a time, to the jar. Blend as you gradually add in butter, moving the immersion blender up and down. The sauce should thicken in just a minute or two.
- Season the Hollandaise with sriracha or your favourite chilli sauce. Whisk until combined. Taste and add more sriracha if desired for more heat.
- Drain the white asparagus and arrange on plates with spicy Hollandaise sauce on a bed of thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes if using, and garnish with chopped parsley and chilli rings.

That's very interesting, we've not see white asparagus until now. Bet it's good.
Never had white asparagus
...I have asparagus coming up in my garden.

I've never tried the white asparagus. Your recipe looks inviting and delicious.

And looking your topping sauce make me so hungry to go to lunch with something creammy like this sauce...Your a good cooker Angie. Thank's for the recipe. I'll try someday. Have a nice day ^^
I've never heard of white asparagus!
Looks amazing!
Interesting regarding the colour of the asparagus, never seen white before but it looks good.
looks so pretty. Never had white asparagus so curious about its taste
No soy muy de espárragos, pero esa salsa me tienta mucho.
Bss
very pretty love the presentation and the flavors are delicious sounding
It is interesting that I have never actually seen white asparagus, occasionally we have green ones at the green market, but not the white sort. But I am not a fan generally. I like the presentation in the second pic without the pomegranate.
@DEZMOND pomegranate? they are chilli flakes.
Deliziosi questi asparagi bianchi!!!
It's Judee. I've been having problems posting with the new system. I love the presentation of the white asparagus and the flavors of the spicy Hollandaise.
non conosco gli asparagi bianchi, ma potrei provare la tua deliziosa ricetta con quelli che raccolgo nelle campagne siciliane!
Buonissimi!!!
It's rare to find white asparagus, but now is the time to look!! The green version hasn't looked great, but you've inspired me to hunt some down and add a lovely hollandaise sauce!
@Anonymous Really sorry about that, Judee. The blogger has been making it difficult for readers leaving the comments. I prefer the old comment format too.
I love your spicy Hollandaise!! a wonderful twist for a clasic sauce!....I love it!!....Abrazotes, Marcela
I never knew how Hollandaise got its name! Interesting. And I like how you've kicked up the flavor of your Hollandaise. Love the stuff, and it's perfect with asparagus -- either white or the more common green. But it looks particularly nice with the white. Thanks!
Delicious and a very pretty presentation Angie :) I also enjoyed learning about the history of Hollandaise. Thank you for sharing the recipe and some food history, which I always find very interesting.
Oh this looks delicious.
I like asparagus but never heard of white asparagus.
Love this! White asparagus is so mild, but there’s always a place for hot sauce!!! Especially in a white sauce. Fabulous.
I've never had white asparagus. It is supposed to be very good. It looks yummy on the red tomato slices. It has a nice color contrast. Hugs-Erika
I haven't had white asparagus in a long time. Now I have a craving for it. Looks delicious Angie.
You had me at sriracha hollandaise... my two favorite things! haha... This looks yummy doll! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
This is one of my favorite sauces and with asparagus this sauce makes a perfect tanden. Your plate looks great, as always!
I love asparagus but pretty pricey over here in Malaysia. Never seen or tasted white asparagus before.
This is my first time seeing white asparagus. Do they taste the same as the green asparagus?
I love asparagus, but haven't ever seen white asparagus, does it taste the same?
@Nancy Chan White asparagus has a more delicate and milder flavor than green.
Que buenos tus esparragos con esa salsita :-)))))
Angie, Love white asparagus! I wonder if I can eat it with my meds. Regular asparagus and most green vegetables are on my no no list due to my meds. The white asparagus on that bed of heirloom tomatoes and topped with that Hollandaise sauce...my favorite plate. The soup would be a big winner too. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I love asparagus
I literally say white asparagus in the grocery store yesterday and wondered how I might cook it. I think it's a sign that you posted this, Angie! Looks so good.
A great way to cook asparagus!
This is calling to me. I can also imagine it with a sunny side up egg right on top. Yum! :-) ~Valentina
as much as i like asparagus, these do look a wee bit - mm obscene :) but delish I'm sure.
Une délicieuse recette, très raffinée !
I've never tried white asparagus. This recipe looks tasty & pretty.
"White Gold" , no wonder priced at a premium compared to regular green asparagus. Hardly see them in the stores here.
It looks delicious, Angie, and I bet it tastes delicious too.
It looks lovely! Although I have yet to try asparagus.
Never had a fresh white asparagus only green ones, I am not sure if they are available here. But that sauce looks like it can be used on the green ones too, sounds really good
İ really dont know white asparagus! Looks very interesting.
Driving me nuts here Angie. Oh how I love Sriracha so your Hollandaise is making my mouth water. Wish I could find some white asparagus and give this a try. I honestly have never had white asparagus. What an elegant dish!
