Asparagus with Morels and TarragonDitte Isager

Tarragon leaves and meaty morel caps shoot up all over the Jura mountains in the spring. Here, tossed with juicy green and white asparagus — Europeans are particularly mad for the latter — they're a genuine sampling of the season.

Cooks' note:

Asparagus can be boiled 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag lined with paper towels.
