    Asparagus in Wine Sauce


    For Asparagus:

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch-long pieces

    For Sauce:

    1 cup diced boiled ham (1/4 pound)
    3/4 cup white wine
    2 cups chicken broth
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
    1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Recipe




    FOR ASPARAGUS:

    In a large skillet, over moderate heat, heat the oil and sauté the asparagus until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

    Remove the asparagus from the pan and set them aside while you make the sauce.

    FOR SAUCE:

    Add the ham to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.

    Over high heat, add the wine and boil until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup.

    Add the chicken broth, and reduce by a third.

    Lower the heat and whisk the butter into the sauce to thicken it.

    Season with the salt and pepper.
