Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 pounds/600 grams asparagus, woody ends trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter
Scant 1/4 cup/20 grams sliced (flaked) almonds
3 tablespoons/30 grams baby capers, patted dry on paper towels (kitchen paper)
1/4 to 1/2 cup/5 to 10 grams roughly chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet (baking tray) with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl or on a work surface, use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Arrange asparagus in the paper-lined pan, spaced well apart, and roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until asparagus is soft and starting to brown in places, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan.

ASPARAGUS WITH ALMONDS, GOAT CHEESE, AND BASIL



Asparagus with Almonds, Goat Cheese, and Basil image

A creamy mustard-and-lemon dressing emulsified with a soft-boiled egg yolk takes this asparagus salad over the top.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1 to 2 lemons
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds (1 1/2 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 lemon
3 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 tablespoon finely shredded fresh basil leaves, plus small whole leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Dressing: Place egg in a small saucepan; cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover pot and let stand 8 minutes. Run egg under cold water to stop cooking. Peel egg; remove white and reserve for another use. Press yolk through a fine sieve into a small bowl.
  • Meanwhile, remove peel and pith from 1 lemon. Holding fruit over another bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to drop in. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl; discard membranes. Coarsely chop segments (you should have 2 tablespoons). If you don't have 2 tablespoons of juice or segments, use second lemon.
  • Add mustard, lemon juice, sugar, and salt to bowl with yolk. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until creamy and emulsified. Stir in lemon segments; season with salt and pepper. Dressing can be refrigerated up to 1 week; return to room temperature before using.
  • Salad: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus; return to a boil and cook, uncovered, until bright green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain. Run under cold water to stop cooking; drain again and pat dry.
  • Remove lemon zest in long strips with a vegetable peeler. Slice zest very thinly into strips; you should have about 2 tablespoons (or use a channel zester). Remove remaining peel and pith from lemon; holding fruit over a bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to drop in.
  • Arrange asparagus on a platter with cheese. Sprinkle with almonds, zest, lemon segments, and basil. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing (reserve remainder for another use). Season with salt and pepper and serve, garnished with whole basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose thick, firm asparagus spears with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are thin, wilted, or have open tips.
  • Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or cutting them with a sharp knife.
  • To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • To roast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the blanched asparagus, roasted almonds, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with almonds is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, the almonds add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, and the goat cheese and parsley add a creamy and tangy finish. The vinaigrette is light and flavorful, and it helps to bring all of the ingredients together. This salad is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of spring asparagus.
