Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed and discarded
8 ounces prosciutto, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Philadelphia Cooking Creme (any flavor, I used Italian Cheese and Herb)
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Wrap 2 asparagus spears with a slice of prosciutto. Place spears on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the tips and ends of the asparagus (avoiding the prosciutto). Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
  • Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Buffet, Lunch, Side dish, Supper, Vegetable

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

300g quinoa
250g soya beans
12 fat asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off and tips and stalks separated
300g Greek yogurt
1 tsp sweet paprika , plus a pinch to serve
2 garlic cloves , crushed
zest and juice 2 lemons
½ large cucumber , halved lengthways, seeds scooped out with a teaspoon, sliced
4 spring onions (we used the ones with the fat bottoms), thinly sliced
large pack mint , leaves picked
2 small packs dill , roughly chopped
large pack parsley , roughly chopped
2 avocados , stoned, peeled and cut into chunks
juice 3 limes
1 tbsp agave syrup
2 tbsp rapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Cook the quinoa following pack instructions, then leave to cool. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the soya beans and cook for 2 mins, then add the asparagus tips and cook for 1 min more. Drain everything and leave to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the paprika, garlic and most of the lemon zest. Season and chill.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, slice the asparagus stalks into thin ribbons (you won't be able to do the whole stalk as it will get too thin, but these pieces are perfect for soup.) Keep in iced water until ready so they curl.
  • On a large platter, combine the quinoa, cooked soya beans and asparagus tips, cucumber, spring onions, herbs and avocado. Drain the asparagus ribbons and add them too. Whisk together the lime and lemon juices, agave syrup, rapeseed oil and some seasoning, then pour over the salad and gently toss to mix. Serve with the yogurt alongside, topped with the remaining lemon zest.
