Provided by Janet Fletcher

Categories     Side dishes

Yield six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 6

1-1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Steps:

  • Slice the asparagus on a sharp diagonal about 1/2 inch thick, leaving the tips whole. Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over moderate heat. Add the asparagus and season with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is just tender, 5 to 6 minutes, lowering the heat if needed to keep the asparagus from browning. Don't overcook; the asparagus will soften a little more as it cools.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the parsley and 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.

GLAZED COOKED AND RAW ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER AND PARMESAN



Glazed Cooked and Raw Asparagus with Butter and Parmesan image

Provided by Alain Ducasse

Categories     Cheese     Vegetable     Appetizer     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Asparagus     Spring

Yield Serves 4 as a first course or accompaniment

Number Of Ingredients 6

40 medium green asparagus spears (about 2 pounds), trimmed to about 5 inchesand peeled, plus tips only of 4 medium asparagus spears, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil, chilled

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.
