6 Tablespoon Unsalted butter; cut into pieces and chilled
1/2 Teaspoon Salt; or to taste
1/4 Teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
How to make
Asparagus And Ham Sauce
In a large skillet, over moderate heat, heat the oil and saute the asparagus until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the asparagus from the pan and set them aside while you make the sauce.
Add the ham to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
Over high hear, 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.
