Provided by Martha Stewart

6 medium leeks
20 thick asparagus spears (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim each leek at the root end, making sure the stalk stays intact, then cut off the top where the green part begins. Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Immerse in a bowl of cold water to loosen any sand or grit. Rinse under cold running water, and pat dry.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound sweetbreads
1 gallon court bouillon
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
8 fresh salsify roots
1 cup heavy cream, heated
1/2 pound butter, melted and warm
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup heavy cream, heated
1/4 pound butter, melted and warm
4 Roma tomatoes
2 to 3 extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound butter, divided
3 shallots, sliced
3 cup Medoc wine
1 quart veal stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 (8-ounce) ostrich steaks
Cooked spinach, for serving
Blanched asparagus, for serving
Sauteed enoki mushrooms, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring court bouillon to a simmer in a saucepan. Add sweetbreads and poach for approximately 9 minutes. Remove sweetbreads and discard liquid. Press sweetbreads between 2 sheet trays until completely cool. Peel membranes and separate into bite-size
  • pieces.
  • Just before serving, dust sweetbreads with flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, add sweetbreads, and sear until crispy. Add lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, bring several inches of water and the lemon juice to a simmer. Peel salsify and add to acidulated water; simmer until very tender. Strain and then transfer salsify to the bowl of a food processor. Add cream and melted butter and puree until smooth. The consistency should be more like a sauce than a puree. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, simmer potatoes in water until tender. Strain and then put potatoes through a potato ricer. In a medium bowl, whip potatoes potatoes with hot cream and butter. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes with olive oil. Arrange tomato slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Set aside.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Add shallots and saute until beginning to brown. Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook until wine is reduced to a syrup. Add veal stock and reduce until sauce consistency. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, and swirl to combine. Keep warm.
  • Melt oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season ostrich with salt and pepper. When pan is hot, add ostrich and sear on both sides until cooked to a medium doneness; it will not take long, as ostrich cooks very quickly and is not good when over-cooked. Reserve and keep warm. It may be necessary to sear the ostrich in 2 batches, so as not to over-crowd the pan.
  • To serve, layer potatoes with spinach and tomatoes in a 2-inch ring mold. Place a pretty oval of potato on top with another dried tomato. Spoon a thin line of salsify puree onto the plate. Slice the ostrich on a sharp bias and place it next to the potato stack. Garnish with sweetbreads, asparagus, and enoki mushrooms. Drizzle Medoc reduction around the plate.

SARASOTA'S FOIL POUCH OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Sarasota's Foil Pouch Oven Roasted Asparagus image

No clean up, 20 minutes, easy and healthy. Nothing more to say. This also will work with green beans, brussels sprouts, zucchini and summer squash, and mushrooms. I just change the seasoning a little (thyme with squash; rosemary with mushrooms and brussels sprouts) and otherwise, a great easy way to make a roasted flavor with no clean up. You may not get that dark caramelized color, but ... for a quick easy vegetable side dish, I love it.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb asparagus (cut the bottom 1-1 1/2-inch off, the tough woody stems)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (the juice from one of those little plastic lemons will work ok for this if you do not have a fresh l)
2 slices lemons (optional)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Foil Pouch -- About 24-30" long piece of foil.
  • Asparagus -- I base this on thick asparagus. Sometimes during the year you can buy the pencil thin asparagus, so make sure that you cut down the cooking time down and the amount of oil and seasoning as this cooks much faster and to me doesn't need as much seasoning or oil.
  • I place all the asparagus in the center of the foil pouch and spread the spears out slightly, alternating the tip and stem end so they all cook evenly. Drizzle on the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and a couple of slices of lemon if you have them.
  • Bake -- Fold up the pouch making sure the majority of the asparagus sits flat and seal tightly. I pick it up and shake it a couple of times which really just distributes all the oil and seasoning throughout the pouch.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes on the middle shelf.

Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 37

2 pounds halibut, cut into 4 (8 ounce) portions
2 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped in a food processor
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, whites only
4 tablespoons canola oil
Rice, recipe follows
Salsa, recipe follows
Ponzu Sauce, recipe follows
Asparagus, recipe follows
Garlic Chips, recipe follows
2 cup glutinous rice (soaked 24 hours in refrigerator)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup coconut milk
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Sugar, to taste
1/3 cup each: pineapple, mango, and papaya, medium dice
1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup ponzu
2 tablespoons Mirin
2 cups dashi, recipe follows
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon miso
2 dozen medium asparagus, tough ends removed
Garlic oil, reserved from garlic chips
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup canola oil
1 piece kelp (1 by 1/2 inch)
2 cups bonito flakes
3 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Lay the 4 pieces of halibut on a clean work surface. Season each piece with the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Using a brush, quickly spread a thin layer of the egg whites on top of the fish and then sprinkle over the chopped macadamia nuts. Press the nuts into the fish to secure. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large saute pan coated with the oil to medium heat. Place 2 pieces (or 4 if the pan is big enough) of the fish, macadamia side-down, in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, until the macadamias are golden brown. Flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the 2 remaining pieces of fish. Place all 4 pieces of fish in a baking dish and cook in the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Form the Rice into a small flat disk in the center of the plate. Spoon some of the Salsa on top of the rice. Lean the fish against the rice and drizzle the sauce around the plate. Place the Asparagus against the fish and garnish with the Garlic Chips.
  • In a large bowl filled with water, soak the rice for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Fit a colander or steamer lined with leaves (lotus, banana, Napa) inside of a large stockpot filled with water and add the rice to the colander. Make sure that the water is not touching the colander. Steam the rice for about 25 to 30 minutes. When the rice is soft, remove it from the colander and place it into a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut flakes and milk to the rice and season with the salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the pineapple, mango, papaya, jalapeno, lime juice, and red onion. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a saute pan over medium heat. Sweat the shallots, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ponzu, mirin, dashi, salt, and pepper and allow to boil. Remove from heat and pour in a blender. Add the miso, blend and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an oven proof saute pan, combine the asparagus, garlic oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus are tender.
  • Prepare a saucepan over high heat and add the oil and the garlic. When the garlic becomes golden brown, remove from the heat. Strain the garlic and reserve both the garlic and the oil.
  • Wipe the kelp with a damp towel and then place it into a medium sized pot filled with water. Heat the water just before boiling, remove the pot from the heat, and remove the kelp. Place the bonito flakes in the water and allow them to settle to the bottom of the pot. Strain out the bonito flakes.

OVEN-ROASTED SALMON, QUINOA AND ASPARAGUS WITH WASABI OIL



Oven-Roasted Salmon, Quinoa and Asparagus With Wasabi Oil image

Seasoned oils like the wasabi oil I buy at my local specialty grocery can embellish a simply cooked piece of fish, a bowl of grains or steamed vegetables. Here the salmon is cooked in the oven, and the wasabi seasoned oil (mine is canola oil-based) is drizzled on just before serving. It's served with quinoa, which you can also dress with the oil, and vegetables in season.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 cups cooked quinoa
1 pound asparagus or any other green vegetable
4 teaspoons wasabi oil (available at gourmet markets) (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top, skin side down. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Fill a roasting or baking pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
  • Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and steam for 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat.
  • Place a serving of quinoa on each plate, or place a mound of it on a platter. Top with the salmon fillets and arrange the asparagus on the side. Drizzle about a teaspoon wasabi oil over the fish and the asparagus, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm with tight tips and a deep green color. Avoid spears with woody ends or yellow tips.
  • Trim the asparagus: Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus by bending each spear until it snaps naturally. This will remove the tough part of the asparagus and make it easier to eat.
  • Season the asparagus: Drizzle the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the asparagus: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the asparagus for 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp.
  • Serve the asparagus: Oven-roasted asparagus can be served as a side dish or main course. It can also be added to salads, pasta dishes, or pizzas.

Conclusion:

Oven-roasted asparagus is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. With its simple preparation and delicious flavor, oven-roasted asparagus is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
