Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the asparagus
- Snap off the woody ends from the asparagus; cut the asparagus in half crosswise.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the asparagus to a colander, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Transfer the asparagus to a medium bowl, add the caper vinaigrette, and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep the water boiling for the egg.
2
Cook the egg
Fill a small bowl with ice water. Carefully lower the egg into the boiling water used for the asparagus and cook for 10 to 12 minutes for hard-cooked. Transfer the egg to the ice water to cool. Carefully peel the egg. While the egg is cooking, prepare the tomato salad.
3
Make the tomato salad
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Peel and finely chop the shallots; set aside three-fourths of the shallots for the meatballs.
In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatoes, sherry vinegar, and one-fourth of the shallots. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Chop the egg; prep and cook the meatballs
- Coarsely chop the egg; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, meatball seasoning blend, and remaining shallots, season generously with salt and pepper, and mix until just combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
Serve
Transfer the meatballs, asparagus, and tomato salad to individual plates. Top the asparagus with the egg and serve.
