Crab And Asparagus Dijonnaise

Ingredients

2 ml vegetable oil
12 ml lemon juice
2 gr tarragon
1 gr tarragon
5/8 shallots
2 gr salt
130 gr crabmeat
3 endive
12 asparagus
1 nbsp
2 egg
16 ml vinegar
26 ml mustard
2 gr sugar
1 gr pepper
120 ml vegetable oil
120 gr creme fraiche

Instructions

Combine the oil, lemon juice, tarragon, shallots and salt. Toss with the crab. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for several hours to let flavors blend.

To serve, place an asparagus spear-half on each leaf of endive. Top with approximately 2-3 teaspoons Dijon Sauce and sprinkle with crab.

Dijon Sauce: Place the egg yolks, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend for a few seconds. With the motor still running, add the oil in a slow steady stream until well incorporated.

Remove the sauce to a bowl and whisk in the Creme Fraiche. Cover and refrigerate. This can be made several days in advance and kept in the refrigerator. Leftover sauce is wonderful with chilled artichokes.
