CHILLED ASPARAGUS SALAD



Chilled Asparagus Salad image

I like to use a kitchen scissor to cut only the very bottom from the stalk; breaking it off causes more of the bottom to go to waste, which is otherwise perfectly edible. With the smaller, thinner "pencil" asparagus, the stalks are too thin to peel and you need that protective layer so the asparagus keep their shape during cooking. For larger asparagus, where the skin is tougher, I do peel the stalk but leave the tip and an inch or so below the tip, unpeeled. The top is tender enough that it can be cooked as is.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 quarts water
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
32 stalks small to medium-size green asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • I like asparagus al dente, slightly crunchy. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Add salt until it tastes like mild seawater. How will you know? Take a little water with a spoon and taste it, then add the sugar.
  • Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl, large enough to hold the asparagus, with cold water. Add some ice cubes. Plunge the asparagus into the ice bath before cooking. This will help to bring any limp stalks back to life. Remove from the ice bath, plunge them into the boiling water and allow them to cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water, transferring them immediately to the same ice bath. Allow them to sit in the ice bath for a few minutes, swirling them gently in the water to assure they are all cooling quickly in the cold water.
  • The most important step for this dish? Drying the stalks once they are removed from the ice bath. Taking care that no water gets into the final salad is the best way to assure that the maximum flavor will be enjoyed! Transfer the asparagus to a large plate or platter lined with a kitchen towel and refrigerate.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey and mustard. Stir to blend. Whisk in the olive oil in an even, steady stream. When all of the oil has been integrated, taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • When ready to serve, remove the kitchen towel from the asparagus and simply toss the asparagus in the dressing to coat them completely. Arrange the stalks on plates and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pound fresh asparagus, woody stems removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter, toss with the vinaigrette and serve. The dish may be eaten warm or cold.

SPICY ASPARAGUS STIR FRY (INDO-CHINESE FUSION RECIPE)



Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) image

This is a twist on the Chinese way of preparing stir fry using a super healthy food (asparagus) as the star of the dish. Asparagus is very easy to cut and cooks fast and hence fits in on any busy weekday. I love this dish because it combines a super food (asparagus) in a spicy, tasty side dish recipe. Serve Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) with Vegetable Fried Brown Rice Recipe, Tofu Fried Rice Recipe or as a part of Naked Burrito Bowl Recipe. Did you know : 1 cup of asparagus gives 2/3 RDV (recommended daily value) of folate (iron). Asparagus is very high in anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits while being rich in antioxidants (cancer prevention) and natural fiber. This food promotes heart health and helps regulate blood sugar.

Provided by Lavanya Krishna

Time 40m

Yield Makes: 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup Onions , cut into think long pieces
2 cups Asparagus , cut slantwise into about 1-1.25 inch
1/4 cup Spring Onion (Bulb & Greens) , chopped
Extra Virgin Olive Oil , (or any cooking oil) as required
3-4 cloves Garlic , cut into small pieces
1 Onion , thinly sliced
2 cups Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Red Chilli sauce
2 teaspoons Chilli vinegar , (or regular vinegar)
Salt , to taste

Steps:

  • To prepare Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) heat a large wok, take about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil (or cooking oil) and sauté the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell goes away.
  • Now add and onions until slightly soft. Don't soften it too much as we want the onions to retain some of their crunchiness.
  • Now add the asparagus pieces, some salt and cover the wok with a lid to cook them for about 5-7 minutes. This is where you want to be careful. Asparagus gets cooked very easily and you want the resulting dish to yet have a bright green colour rather than having a dull colour.
  • Once cooked, add the soy sauce and chili garlic and let the whole thing cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Do a taste test to make sure salt and spice is up to your taste. If you think it's too spicy you can add a little brown sugar to sweeten the dish.
  • Finally, garnish and serve with chopped spring onions.
  • You can serve Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) with Vegetable Fried Brown Rice Recipe, Tofu Fried Rice Recipe or as a part of Naked Burrito Bowl Recipe.

CHINESE CHILLED NOODLES



Chinese Chilled Noodles image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 tablespoons sesame oil
7 tablespoons black soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus additional for cooking pasta
2 teaspoons Fresh Chile Oil, recipe follows
12 scallions, roots trimmed, green and white parts thinly sliced, divided
1 pound 1/16-inch long thin noodles, regular spaghetti, or fresh Chinese egg noodles
8 fresh red cayenne chile peppers
2 fresh red Scotch bonnet chile peppers
1 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, black soy sauce, balsamic, sugar, salt, and Chile Oil. Whisk to blend. Stir in half of the sliced scallions. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • When the water boils, season with salt until the water tastes like seawater. Plunge the pasta in the boiling water and cook, 3 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Place a colander in the sink. Remove the pot from the heat and pour off most of the water into the colander, catching any pasta as the water pours out.
  • Remove the colander from the sink and fill the pot still containing the pasta with cold water. You want the pasta to cool quickly by being submerged in the cold water. This will assure a chewy texture.
  • Drain the pasta thoroughly in the colander, shaking it a few times to remove excess water covering the pasta. Spread a kitchen towel on a flat surface and turn the noodles onto the towel. Gently use a second towel to dry the noodles. Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have its proper flavoring effect on the noodles. Any water from cooking the pasta dilutes the noodles and makes them taste more like water than anything else. Gingerly transfer them the bowl with the sauce. Use your hands to mix the pasta and the sauce, taking care that all of the pasta gets coated. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • These noodles can marinate for a few hours or overnight before serving. Serve them cold, tossing them again in the sauce just before serving, and garnish with the remaining scallions.
  • Remove the stems from the chiles then place in a food processor and blend until they are completely broken down.
  • Use a rubber spatula and scrape into a medium sized saute pan. Add the oil and stir well. Set the pan over medium-low heat. Gently warm up the oil slowly so it draws out the color and flavor of the chiles. Stir well and season with salt. Once the oil is barely simmering, cook for 5 to 6 minutes. hut off heat and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

CHILLED BEETS AND ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC CHIVE BLOSSOMS



Chilled Beets and Asparagus with Garlic Chive Blossoms image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches baby beets, peeled and quartered
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut on the bias
1 cup water
1/2 cup orange blossom water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 bunch garlic chives with blossoms, roughly chopped
4 ounces goat cheese
About 8 cups cleaned mixed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • First, a note on beets: they'll stain anything! Make sure you wear gloves as you're peeling the beets unless you want your hands to be an attractive magenta color!
  • Place the quartered beets in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat to medium and let the beets cook for about 20 minutes or just until fork tender. Drain the beets and run them under cold water. Drain and set aside. As you're doing this, get another pot of water boiling and drop the prepped asparagus into it for just 2 minutes. Drain the asparagus and run it under cold water immediately. This is called blanching. Drain and add to the beets.
  • In yet another saucepan, add the water, orange blossom water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the glaze has reduced by half and has thickened slightly. Toss with the vegetables, and add the roughly chopped garlic chives. Top with the chive blossoms and crumbled goat cheese and serve as a first course on a bed of mixed greens.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and peeled if tough
4 scallions, trimmed
Olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups vegetable stock, warmed
1/2 cup whole fat plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh Italian parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup apricot jam
1/4 cup sambal oelek
2 ciabatta rolls, sliced in half
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
1/4 cup whole fat plain Greek yogurt
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • For the soup: Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking or oven to 400 degrees F. If using a grill, set a wire rack directly on the grill grate.
  • Brush the asparagus and scallions all over with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, turning a few times, until limber and partially charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a cutting board.
  • Make the toast: In a small bowl mix the jam and sambal. Spread on the cut side of the rolls. Divide and pile the cheese on top of the jam on each roll and place over the indirect heat of the grill (directly on the grates or on a baking sheet). Cook, covered, until the cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Build the soup. Transfer the grilled veggies to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add to the jar of a blender. Add the stock, yogurt and parsley and blend until smooth.
  • Put the soup, lemon zest, garlic and salt to taste in a medium pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to warm through. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
  • To finish the soup: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice and honey. Pour the soup into bowls. Spoon 3 drops of the yogurt mixture into each bowl and run a skewer in a circle through the yogurt mixture to make a decorative pattern.
  • Serve the toast alongside the soup.
