ASPARAGUS, LEMON, AND MINT SOUP



Asparagus, Lemon, and Mint Soup image

This soup is easy to make. Asparagus has a strong flavor by itself, so I chose to add a few mint leaves and lemon zest to give it a wonderfully fresh aroma!

ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER LEMON AND MINT DRIZZLE



Asparagus With Butter Lemon and Mint Drizzle image

This is wonderful when that spring asparagus arrives on the supermarket shelves. I've also made this using lime with great results. This makes a light amount of the drizzle double it if you would like all of the asparagus well coated.

Provided by Annacia

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (chopped as large or fine as you like)
lemon zest, grated for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Simmer, steam or roast the asparagus until tender but still firm.
  • Use a paper towel to remove any residual water from the asparagus.
  • Place the butter in a microwave proof container (I use a glass measuring cup) along with the lemon juice and chopped mint.
  • While the asparagus is cooking warm the butter to the point where it's not quite all melted.
  • Remove from the microwave and stir to finish melting the butter and mix the lemon juice and mint nicely together.
  • Drizzle the butter mixture over the still hot asparagus.
  • Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top if using.

POLENTA WITH ASPARAGUS, PEAS AND MINT



Polenta With Asparagus, Peas and Mint image

Buttery polenta serves as a soft, savory bed for asparagus and peas in this verdant, vegetable-rich main course. Sautéed shallots add sweetness, while fresh mint lends brightness to a satisfying yet light meal. You can substitute any soft herbs for the mint or use a combination for the most complex flavor. And, if you're short on time, instant polenta will work in place of regular, too. Just follow the directions on the package to cook it.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups polenta, coarse-grind cornmeal or corn grits (see Tip)
1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt, plus more as needed
4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, or more to taste, plus shaved Parmesan for serving
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 large or 4 small shallots (or 1 small red onion), thinly sliced
3 thinly sliced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons dry vermouth or white wine
2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh peas (no need to thaw frozen peas first)
1/3 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup torn mint leaves, or use parsley, cilantro or a combination of any soft herbs
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • If cooking polenta on stovetop: In a medium pot over high heat, combine 4 1/2 cups water, polenta and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how finely the polenta is ground (coarse-ground polenta takes longer).
  • Alternatively, cook polenta in oven: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium Dutch oven or other oven-safe pot over high heat, bring 4 1/2 cups water, polenta and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to thicken slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then give the mixture a stir. If it looks dry, add another 1/2 cup water. Cover the pot once more, and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When polenta is thick and creamy, stir in 2 to 4 of the tablespoons butter (depending on how buttery you like it) and the Parmesan. Taste and add more Parmesan and salt, if needed.
  • As the polenta cooks, prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and cook for another minute or two, until fragrant and very lightly golden in spots. Add vermouth and cook until alcohol evaporates, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in asparagus and peas, and cook until vegetables are glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and a large pinch of salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 8 minutes. (Thicker asparagus will take longer to soften.) Stir in the mint. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
  • To serve, spoon polenta into bowls, top with vegetables and their sauce, and grind on lots of fresh pepper. Finish with shaved Parmesan.

RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS, MINT AND LEMON



Risotto With Asparagus, Mint and Lemon image

Now that it is spring, I thought I'd add a tasty asparagus dish. This is adapted from "Cook with Jamie," by Jamie Oliver.

Provided by CaliforniaJan

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb asparagus, tough ends removed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided use
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or 1 1/2 cups carnaroli rice
1/2 cup vermouth or 1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup of fresh mint, finely chopped
1 lemon, juice and zest of
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Remove tips from asperagus and slice stalks into thin disks.
  • Pour stock and water into medium saucepan and heat to low simmer. In 3-quart or larger pot, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until all the grains are well-coated. Quickly pour in vermouth or wine and stir until it has evaporated.
  • Turn heat down to medium low and begin adding warmed stock to rice a ladleful (about 1/2 cup) at a time, stirring after each addition and waiting until the stock has been absorbed before adding more. Stir often enough to prevent rice from sticking to pan.
  • When about half the stock has been absorbed, stir in asparagus slices and tips, then continue adding stock by the ladleful and stirring until it is absorbed. About 20 minutes after you began the process, taste rice for doneness. It should be tender, but not mushy, with a bit of crunch at the center. You may not need to add all the stock. The end texture should be creamy and slightly loose.
  • Turn off heat and stir in remaining butter, cheese, mint and lemon zest and juice. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed. Cover pan and let risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. Pass additional Parmesan at the table.

LEMONY ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SHAVED CHEESE AND NUTS



Lemony Asparagus Salad With Shaved Cheese and Nuts image

Less is more when it comes to asparagus, especially those first tender stalks that show up in spring. Here they're quickly steamed and turned into an elegant salad tossed with a lemony, shallot dressing, and enriched with plenty of grated Manchego or other cheese. Chopped pistachios add another shade of green to the plate along with their sweet crunch, but use any nuts you like, or skip them entirely. This tangy, bright salad doesn't need them.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup pistachios or other nuts
1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons soft herbs, such as dill, parsley and tarragon, or a combination

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or cider vinegar)
Large pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
3/4 cup coarsely grated cheese (1 1/2 ounces), preferably a young sheep's milk, such as pecorino or Manchego, but any firm cheese works, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread pistachios in an even layer and toast for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle, then roughly chop.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large skillet with 1-inch water. Place steam basket on top, cover and bring to a simmer. Steam asparagus until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Finely chop 3 tablespoons mixed soft herbs. In a medium bowl, combine shallot, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the pepper, and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk in oil, then stir in pistachios, cheese and chopped herbs.
  • To serve, drizzle asparagus with oil and salt to taste. Dollop with dressing, tear remaining 1/2 cup herbs on top, and sprinkle generously with more cheese. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

LEMONY MASHED POTATOES WITH ASPARAGUS, ALMONDS AND MINT



Lemony Mashed Potatoes With Asparagus, Almonds and Mint image

Sautéing asparagus in butter and oil, rather than boiling it in water, locks much of the flavor inside. The asparagus could be served without the lemony mashed potatoes, or the other way around, but together they make a glorious side dish to roasted chicken, fish or spring lamb. Alternatively, adding a poached egg or two to each plate will turn this into a substantial vegetarian meal.

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lemon, preferably organic, scrubbed
About 15 mint sprigs/40 grams plus 1/4 cup/5 grams lightly packed shredded mint leaves
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 pounds/700 grams large potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or Désirée), peeled and cut into 1-inch/3-centimeter chunks
3 tablespoons/50 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/75 milliliters whole milk
Heaping 1/3 cup/90 grams sour cream (soured cream)
Salt and black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons/40 grams unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 pounds/800 grams asparagus, woody ends trimmed off
6 anchovy fillets, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup/50 grams sliced (flaked) almonds, lightly toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons dried mint

Steps:

  • Using a peeler, remove the yellow zest from the lemon in large strips. Cut the peeled lemon into six wedges and reserve for serving.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with salted water, add the lemon zest, mint sprigs and garlic, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and boil for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Add asparagus and cook, turning frequently, until cooked through but retaining a slight bite, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Turn off the heat and use tongs to transfer asparagus to a plate. Add the anchovy, garlic and a pinch of salt to the pan, return to medium heat, and stir continuously until the garlic is starting to turn gold, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in almonds and dried mint, and immediately spoon the mixture into a bowl to stop the cooking.

1 lb thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 thin slices prosciutto (1 oz total), halved crosswise

2 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
