Asparagus, Soft-Boiled Eggs and Caviar

Caviar goes very well with different kinds of vegetables. Gently blanched fresh green asparagus with soft boiled egg pairs perfectly with rich creamy caviar that adds a touch luxury to every bite.
Argan oil, a specialty oil produced in Morocco, extracted from the seeds of the argan tree, known as Argania spinosa, has a distinctive nutty and robust flavour, but not overpowering, and it's best enjoyed as a finishing oil. It is hard to come by, so you may use hazelnut or walnut oil instead, or simply use olive oil.

 
  • 350 g Tender green asparagus spears
  • 2 Soft boiled eggs
  • 30 g Black caviar
  • 2 tsp Argan oil, for drizzling
  • Freshly milled black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Flat parsley, chopped
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  1. Wash the asparagus and remove the hard part. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in asparagus and cook for 2-5 minutes until tender, depending on their thickness. Drain.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 6 minutes. Transfer to a colander, place under cold running water to stop the cooking.
  3. Divide the asparagus on two serving plates and top with the halved eggs and some caviar. Drizzle with argan oil, season with pepper, garnish with fresh chopped parsley tomato halves and serve.

  2. It is a very spring dish, although I cannot say we even had any spring, given that we went straight into tropical summer.
    OMG Angie, get rid of the annoying pop up ads at the bottom, make them fixed at the end of the page, not a pop up LOL

  4. Una receta de lujo y no solo por el caviar, que para mí es lo de menos, prefiero el resto de ingredientes que juntos forman un plato buenísimo.

  11. Angi knew that argan was used in hair cosmetics, but not that it was eaten. From what you say, with it you have to season little, it must have a special flavor. I hope to get it so I know what it's all about.Kisses

  17. Undercooked egg yolks are associated with salmonella so I always make sure mine are cooked right through.

  23. Hello Angie :=)
    This is rather special, and I know I would enjoy this meal any time. All the ingredients go together really well, but I would have difficulty finding the Argan oil, so glad there are alternative choices. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
    Best wishes
    Sonjia.

  27. It's great that you provided alternatives for those who may not have access to Argan oil.

  28. Love asparagus prepped this way - gently cooked in a quick blanch or steam. Great pairing with soft boiled eggs. The last time I tried caviar - did not really enjoy it. Seems too funky for my tastebuds :O

    Impecable presentación como siempre!

  30. Now I have to track down some caviar, I presume they have it in the supermarket not something I would normally have. Interesting recipe. Cheers Duane

  33. It's asparagus season and what a beautiful recipe to celebrate this gorgeous vegetable. I love that you paired it with a jammy egg and black caviar (BTW, typo in blakc). This looks like a perfect lunch on a hot summer's day.

  34. The creamy texture of the eggs must complement the delicate crunch of the asparagus perfectly, while the rich, briny notes of the caviar elevate each bite to a whole new level of decadence
