ASPARAGUS FRITTERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.
