GLAZED COOKED AND RAW ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER AND PARMESAN
Steps:
- To cook the asparagus: Using kitchen string, tie the asparagus spears together in bunches of five. Bring a large pot of water, with the salt, to a rapid boil. Plunge in the asparagus bunches and cook until the tip of a knife can pierce a stalk without resistance, about 4 minutes. Remove the asparagus and pat the bunches dry, then carefully untie the strings.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in each of two large skillets over medium heat (if you have just one large frying pan, cook in two batches). When the butter is white and bubbly, lay the asparagus in the pans in a single layer. Roll the stalks around so that each gets well covered with butter and cook for 2 minutes or so, until they take on a shiny, "gilded" look. Sprinkle on the Parmesan and remove from the heat.
- To finish the dish: Divide the asparagus among four warmed serving dishes, then scatter the chopped asparagus tips over the cooked asparagus. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground pepper over each serving, then drizzle 1 teaspoon of chilled olive oil in a thin filament around the edge of each plate. Serve immediately.
- Variations: Instead of drizzling olive oil onto the serving plates, substitute a thin filament of highly reduced pan drippings from a roast, punctuated around each plate by 6 tiny Niçoise olives. Or garnish each plate with 4 fresh morel mushrooms that have been sautéed in butter with minced shallots.
ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN CHEESE
Steps:
- Preheat oven broiler.
- With a vegetable peeler, scrape the asparagus to within one inch of the top. Cut off and discard the bottom part of the spears to make them of uniform length.
- Place the stalks in a skillet, add cold water to cover, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer about 2 to 3 minutes until tender yet firm.
- Drain the asparagus and arrange in a round or oval heatproof dish. Arrange neatly in one layer with the tip ends slightly staggered.
- Brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
- Place under the broiler for about 2 or 3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom. You can also snap off the ends by bending them until they break naturally.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Asparagus should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese. Fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese will give your asparagus dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use jarred garlic, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking asparagus, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to become mushy.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Garlic Butter and Parmesan Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
