Ingredients

1. 1 bunch asparagus tips
2. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3. 1 shallot, finely diced
4. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
5. 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, chopped*
6. 1 bay leaf
7. 1/4 cup red wine
8. 1 cup chicken stock
9. 2 tablespoons heavy cream
10. 1 (12-ounce) package wonton wraps*
11. 1 egg, beaten
12. vegetable oil, for frying
13. Tarragon Aîoli Sauce, recipe follows

Instructions

1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a 2-quart pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook asparagus tips until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain asparagus and plunge into ice water.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add chopped mushrooms and bay leaf and cook another 4 minutes. Add wine and reduce for about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and heavy cream and cook until almost all liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Remove 6 wonton wraps from package. Reserve remaining wraps for another use. Place 1 wonton wrap on flat surface, angled to be diamond-shaped. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mushroom mixture near the bottom corner of the wrap. Top with 3 asparagus tips and roll up the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in both sides. Brush the top seam of the wrap with beaten egg, and continue rolling so that a log is formed. Repeat with remaining 5 wraps and filling.
4. In a deep skillet, pour oil to a depth of about 1 inch and heat to 350º. Cook rolls for about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Tarragon Aîoli Sauce.

Notes

1. *For this spring roll, Zac prefers a mix of shitake, crimini, oyster, and button mushrooms. Wonton wraps are available in the refrigerated section of well-stocked grocery stores.
