PARMESAN FRIED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over a moderate heat. Add in the onion, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon pepper. Cook till tender. Tip in the asparagus and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally so that it gets evenly coated with the seasoning. Sprinkle the wine into the skillet, mix and take off fire. Transfer the asparagus to a serving dish. Drizzle the leftover mixture from the skillet onto the asparagus. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and whole wheat crackers.
• Tips:
• While cooking the asparagus, make sure not to overcook it - it will turn mushy. To get the texture right, keep it slightly crunchy.

Steps:

• Prepare asparagus spears. First rinse thoroughly and cut off fibrous ends. To do this, pull one spear out of the bunch. Gently bend the spear until it snaps. Then cut the remaining spears at the same length as the first.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Cook garlic and shallots for five minutes or until tender but not translucent.
• Add asparagus and parmesan to skillet and toss in oil, garlic and shallots. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes at medium / medium-high heat or until asparagus and parmesan begin to brown, and shallots are caramelized.

DEEP-FRIED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl.
• Stir biscuit mix, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl.
• Dip asparagus into milk mixture.
• Roll and coat asparagus in dry ingredient mixture. Repeat with a second layer for each asparagus.
• Carefully place coated asparagus in the hot oil; fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.

DEEP-FRIED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt in one bowl, eggs and buttermilk in another, and bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
• Coat each asparagus stalk in the flour blend, dunk into the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumbs. Transfer to the refrigerator and let them rest for 30 minutes; this will help the breading stick during frying.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry asparagus in the hot oil, working in batches as needed, until breading is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot.
