A Recipe for
Asparagus-And-Emmenthaler Tart
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

“Cooking is at once one of the simplest and most gratifying of the arts, but to cook well one must love and respect food.” |

Emmenthaler is a dry, aged cheese that accents the flavor of
asparagus. Serve as the main course of a light lunch or supper.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Snap coarse ends off asparagus stalks leaving
spears about 3 1/2-inches long. (Save the trimmed-off ends to use for
soup.) Peel the asparagus spears using a swivel-bladed vegetable
peeler, lay them flat in a large heavy skillet, pour in boiling
salted water and set over moderate heat. Cover and cook asparagus for
about 10 minutes, until very tender. Drain well, return to the
skillet and shake over moderate heat for 30 seconds or so to
dissipate any excess moisture. Arrange the asparagus spears like the
spokes of a wheel over the bottom of the pie crust, with their tips
pointing toward the center. Combine the milk, cream, eggs, Parmesan
cheese, Kirschwasser, salt, dill, mace and pepper, and pour the
liquid evenly over the asparagus. Bake the tart, uncovered, for 35
minutes, or until the filling has set. Remove the tart from the oven
and cool it for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
