Asparagus spring onion Sauté

This vibrant asparagus and spring onion sauté celebrates the very best of seasonal greens. By lightly blanching the asparagus and green beans before hitting the frying pan, you ensure a perfect tender-crisp texture while maintaining that bright, emerald colour. The addition of gently caramelised spring onions provides a subtle sweetness and depth that elevates these simple ingredients into a sophisticated side dish.

As a naturally vegan recipe, this dish is an excellent choice for those seeking a light yet flavourful plant-based option. It pairs beautifully with roasted new potatoes or crusty sourdough bread for a healthy lunch, or serves as an elegant accompaniment to a main course. Fresh, clean, and nutritious, it is a wonderful way to enjoy the delicate flavours of early summer produce.

Ingredients for Asparagus spring onion Sauté

  • 900g asparagus, tough ends discarded and halved crosswise at a sharp diagonal

  • 230g string beans, tops trimmed and halved crosswise at a sharp diagonal

  • 1 bunch spring onions (about 8)

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

How to make Asparagus spring onion Sauté

Bring a 5- to 6-quart pot of water seasoned with 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a boil. Cook asparagus and string beans until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain, then transfer in a single layer to paper or kitchen towels to dry.

Separate white parts from green parts of spring onions. Halve whites lengthwise. Halve green parts lengthwise and again in half crosswise. You should have approximately 3-inch pieces.

Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Add white parts of spring onions and sauté until they just begin to wilt and turn golden, about 2 minutes.

Add asparagus, green beans, and 1/4 teaspoons salt and sauté to heat through, 1 minute. Add green parts of spring onions and continue to sauté until they just begin to wilt, about 1 minute more. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve with a fresh grind of black pepper.
