Directions:
- To prepare the asparagus, cut off the tough end of each stalk so that all are approximately the same length.(* Martha says to peel but I skip this step.).
- Boil for about three-four minutes, or until al dente.
- In a small, nonreactive saucepan, combine the shallots, wine, salt, and vinegar.
- Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid has been reduced to about 1/4 cup.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
- The liquid must be just warm enough to incorporate the butter but not hot enough to liquefy it.
- Whisk in the butter, a piece at a time, until the mixture is well blended and creamy. If the mixture becomes too cool and the butter will not incorporate, return the pan to low heat for a moment or two.
- When all butter is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, whisk in the cornichons.
- Serve immediately over the asparagus.
