Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch large or jumbo asparagus (can substitute with Brussels sprouts)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ciabatta loaf, cubed (about 1 quart cubes)
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Remove the bread from the pan to a cutting board and roughly chop the bread pieces. Toss with the grated Parmesan and black pepper, to taste.

ASPARAGUS-PARMESAN TART



Asparagus-Parmesan Tart image

Store-bought puff pastry makes easy work of this seasonal tart recipe from "Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home." For the most flavorful (and flaky) results, look for all-butter brands of frozen puff pastry, such as Dufour. Follow this dish withShrimp in Saffron Broth and Apricot-Almond Ice Cream Sandwiches for a quick spring meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 sheet (14 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, well beaten
10 medium asparagus spears, tough ends trimmed, shaved into thin strips using a vegetable peeler
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface, just until creases are smooth. Trim dough to a 10-inch square. Lightly score a 1/2-inch border around dough. Brush off excess flour and transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Brush border of dough with the beaten egg. Bake until puffed and starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Toss asparagus with the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove tart shell from oven and press down on the center with a spatula. Arrange asparagus on top. Bake until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Bake until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack 5 minutes before slicing into squares.

Tips for Perfect Asparagus Parmesan:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for thick, firm stalks with tight tips. Avoid asparagus with woody ends or yellowed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. You can also use a knife to cut off about 1 inch from the bottom of each stalk.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be roasted, grilled, steamed, or sautéed. Be careful not to overcook it, as it should still have a slight crunch.
  • Use good quality Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give your dish the best flavor. Avoid using pre-grated cheese, as it often contains fillers and additives.
  • Serve immediately: Asparagus Parmesan is best served immediately after it is cooked. The asparagus will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Asparagus Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and elegant presentation, it is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, give Asparagus Parmesan a try. You won't be disappointed!
