White Asparagus and Watercress Salad

Carbonnades a la Flamande over Fusilli


Liz gave me the Nobu cookbook for Christmas (note: cookbooks are always a good gift for me -- the weirder the better). As she was looking through it, this salad caught her eye. The white asparagus was crisp and the dressing uses the watercress stems blanched and pureed with olive oil/vinegar.

The Carbonnades a la Flamande is a standby Julia Child adaptation -- beer braised seitan over pasta -- mmmmmmmmm...
