ASPARAGUS GALETTE WITH GOAT CHEESE



Asparagus Galette with Goat Cheese image

This asparagus galette could be an appetizer or a side dish, or you could top it with an egg and serve it as an entree. While I prefer to make my own whole wheat crust to add a nutty flavor, you could use a refrigerated crust instead. Cooking all vegetables before assembling the galette adds flavor and expels most of the moisture, so the crust gets crispy in the oven. If you want to save time, use caramelized onion jam instead of caramelizing the leeks. -Kellyn Kemmerer, Baltimore, Maryland

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND BACON



Roasted Asparagus with Goat Cheese and Bacon image

Categories     Brunch     Roast     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Goat Cheese     Lemon     Bacon     Asparagus     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 bacon slices
2 pounds medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 3 1/2- to 4-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Crumble bacon; set aside.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 500°F. Arrange asparagus on large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and turn asparagus to coat well. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast asparagus until crisp-tender when pierced with knife, about 7 minutes. Arrange asparagus in single layer on platter. Sprinkle with goat cheese, then bacon. Drizzle with lemon juice and remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle grated lemon peel over. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus properly. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, or use a knife to cut them off.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly. Overcooking will make the asparagus tough and fibrous.
  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a complex flavor with notes of fruit, sweetness, and acidity.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes work well for this recipe.
  • Use fresh goat cheese. Goat cheese has a mild, tangy flavor that pairs well with the asparagus and tomatoes.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with balsamic tomatoes and goat cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, the tomatoes are sweet and juicy, and the goat cheese adds a tangy creaminess. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
