RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For the Asparagus:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
For the 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
DIRECTIONS
FOR THE 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 THE 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.
