Parmesan Asparagus And Butter Beans Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC BUTTER AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop the asparagus in and cook for about 2 minutes or until just, just tender crisp. Plunge into iced water to stop them cooking, then drain.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant.
• Season with salt and pepper, the add the asparagus to the pan, tossing and turning gently in the butter until hot.
• Divide amongst 4 plates, then sprinkle each serve with the cheese.
• We liked crusty bread to mop up the rest of the garlic butter, but it's up to you!

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray the inside of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place asparagus in the dish and lightly spray spears with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

CRISPY GARLIC PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a baking tray or sheet with non stick cooking oil spray.
• Place the trimmed asparagus in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and use your hands to evenly coat onto the asparagus.
• Transfer the asparagus and breadcrumb mixture onto prepared baking sheet and arrange into one even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the asparagus are just tender.
• Broil/grill for 2-3 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden browned and asparagus has reached desired doneness.
• Serve warm.

ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix together the butter, lemon zest and grated Parmesan and season with garlic salt.
• Put to one side.
• Snap the asparagus 2-4 cm/¾-1½in from the base of the stalks, the spears should naturally find their own breaking point.
• If the asparagus is particularly thick, trim away any tough-looking pointy ears on the stalk, as these can have a bitter taste.
• Place the asparagus in a wide saucepan or large, deep frying pan of rapidly boiling salted water, cook for 2-5 minutes depending on their thickness until just tender. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and shake off any excess water.
• Place on a warm plate and sit the flavoured butter on top. Turn the asparagus so the butter is melting and oozing over every spear, then sprinkle over some sea salt.
