ASPARAGUS WITH BACON, RED ONION, AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus With Bacon, Red Onion, and Balsamic Vinaigrette image

From America's Test Kitchen. This looks just wonderful. "To prepare the asparagus for this salad, we found that broiling concentrates the flavor of the asparagus and lightly caramelizes the peel. We prefer to use thin (under 5/8-inch) asparagus under the broiler-this lets us skip the peeling step and allows the spears to cook more evenly."

Provided by Queen Dragon Mom

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed (2 bunches)
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch strips (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons minced red onions
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to about 4 inches from heating element and heat broiler.
  • Toss asparagus with oil and salt and pepper, then lay spears in single layer on heavy rimmed baking sheet. Broil, shaking pan halfway through to turn spears, until asparagus is tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cool asparagus 5 minutes and arrange on serving dish.
  • Fry bacon strips in medium skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Whisk onion, vinegar, parsley, and oil in small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over asparagus, sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately.

1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 medium lemons, quartered

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine asparagus, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss to evenly coat the asparagus.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus stalks: Thicker asparagus stalks are easier to handle and less likely to break during cooking.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Use a sharp knife to trim the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. Aim to remove about 1 inch from the bottom of each stalk.
  • Cook the asparagus in a single layer: This will ensure that the asparagus cooks evenly. If you crowd the asparagus in the pan, it will steam instead of roasting and won't get as crispy.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and flavorless.
  • Use good quality bacon: The bacon is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't skip the balsamic glaze: The balsamic glaze adds a delicious sweet and tangy flavor to the asparagus. If you don't have any balsamic glaze on hand, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan until it thickens.

Conclusion:

Balsamic asparagus with bacon is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's healthy, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
