Preparation steps

1.

Add the finely chopped shallots, port, and beaujolais to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

2.

Return to the heat, and add 1 tablespoon of red wine. 

3.

Heat until the sauce liquifies, stirring with a whisk. Heat until the sauce can be swirled around with ease.

4.

Mix in the cold butter, stirring constantly with a whisk then set aside.

5.

Peel the asparagus and remove the tough woody ends. Blanch in boiling water seasoned with sugar for 15-20 minutes, until al dente.

6.

Place the asparagus on warmed plates, top with the warm wine sauce, and serve.
