Asparagus Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound asparagus, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 cup hot melted butter

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and green onions; cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until asparagus is tender. Strain through a mesh strainer, and press out excess water. Place into the bowl of a blender and puree until smooth, then pour into a bowl and set aside.
Rinse out the blender bowl, then add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and Tabasco sauce. Cover, leaving the hole in the lid open, and blend for about 5 seconds. Continue to blend at high speed while pouring the butter in a thin stream though the hole in the lid. Turn the blender off once all the butter has been added and the sauce has thickened. Pour into the asparagus puree and fold until evenly blended. Serve immediately.
