Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, optional
1 cup self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup beer, such as amber ale, at room temperature
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • 1 pound slender asparagus, trimmed to 5-inch lengths, or a combination of 8 ounces asparagus and 8 ounces yellow or green zucchini, zucchini trimmed and cut on deep diagonal into 1/3-inch-thick slices, patted dry
  • For the sauce: Whisk the mayonnaise, capers, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, mustard, zest and garlic in a small bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, or more, if desired. The sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead, covered and chilled.
  • For the asparagus: Whisk the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the beer into the flour mixture until smooth.
  • Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy large wide saucepan to reach a depth of 3 inches. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature registers between 350 degrees F and 360 degrees F.
  • Coat the asparagus, in batches, in beer batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Drop the asparagus, in batches, into the hot oil and fry until the batter is deep golden brown and asparagus are crisp-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per batch. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer the asparagus using a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Immediately mound the asparagus on a serving platter. Place the bowl of dipping sauce alongside and serve while the asparagus are still hot.

SUNNY'S BEER BATTERED MOROCCAN ASPARAGUS WITH DIP



Sunny's Beer Battered Moroccan Asparagus with Dip image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon Moroccan spice blend
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt
12 ounces beer
1 bunch thin asparagus
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
Chilled Moroccan Spice Dip, recipe follows
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated onion pulp, made with the biggest side of box grater
1/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Moroccan spice blend
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add 1 cup of the flour to each baking dish. Set one aside for your dredging station. In the other add the spice blend, lemon zest and a nice pinch of salt, and whisk. Slowly stir in the beer until the batter thickens to a pancake consistency. If there is a sip of beer leftover, don't waste it, drink it! Rest the batter for 5 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot 3- to 4-inches deep with oil and heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F. To fry, first dredge the asparagus in the flour, then shake off lightly and run through the batter. Immediately and gently lower the asparagus into the oil. Fry until the batter is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cook in batches to avoid overloading the pot, which reduces the overall temperature of the oil. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat for the remaining asparagus. Serve warm with the chilled Moroccan Spice Dip.
  • In a medium bowl stir together the mayonnaise, onion pulp, parsley, sour cream, lemon juice and spice blend. Taste the dip and season with a pinch of salt, if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

PAN-SEARED HAKE AND ASPARAGUS WITH AIOLI



Pan-Seared Hake and Asparagus With Aioli image

In this light, flavorful weeknight meal, mild hake fillets are pan-fried in butter with plenty of sweet scallions, and served with crisp green asparagus cooked in the same pan. Then, everything is drizzled with a thin, garlicky aioli, which acts as a pungent sauce. If you can get green garlic (often in season at the same time as asparagus), use it in the aioli. It gives a more rounded, gentle flavor, but regular garlic works nicely, too, packing more of a punch. If you can't get hake, this dish will work with cod, flounder, black fish and the like. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time, adding or subtracting a minute or two if the fillets are thicker or thinner.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 to 2 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste, or use 1 tablespoon minced green garlic
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or chives
4 (6-ounce) hake fillets, patted dry
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
2 red or regular scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the aioli: Combine garlic, lemon juice and salt in a blender or food processor, and let sit a minute or two. Add egg and yolk, and blend until combined. With the blender running, slowly add oil in a thin, steady stream. You're looking for an emulsified mixture, but it will be on the thin, saucelike side. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and lemon juice, if needed. Stir in tarragon.
  • Prepare the hake: Season hake with 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and paprika. Let sit while you cook the asparagus.
  • Make the asparagus: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Stir in asparagus and a pinch of salt, and let cook without moving for 2 minutes to brown slightly. Add a tablespoon of water, cover and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 5 minutes longer depending on thickness of stalks. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Return skillet to medium heat, and melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Place hake in an even layer in skillet, then scatter in scallions. Cover and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook uncovered about another 3 to 4 minutes, until hake is cooked through and lightly browned on both sides. Transfer hake and scallions to serving plates, and immediately drizzle with aioli to taste. Serve with asparagus.

ASPARAGUS FRIES WITH GARLIC AIOLI



Asparagus Fries with Garlic Aioli image

A healthier alternative to conventional french fries, these asparagus fries are baked and offer more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the asparagus:
1 pound fresh asparagus
7 ounces panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the vegan egg:
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
7 teaspoons water
For the aioli sauce:
1 cup Hellmann's® Carefully Crafted Dressing and Sandwich Spread
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add the flaxseed meal and water and with a spoon, stir until combined. Let it sit until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. In the meantime, combine the aioli ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • On a flat plate, combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each asparagus spear in the vegan egg mixture until thoroughly coated, then dip in the breadcrumbs, pressing to secure them to the asparagus. Transfer the asparagus to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining asparagus, spacing spears about 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. To finish the fries, set the broiler to high and broil the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, turning once on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove asparagus fries from oven and serve immediately with the prepared garlic aioli.

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus spears for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends.
  • Use all-purpose flour for the beer batter, or a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch for a crispier batter.
  • Make sure the beer batter is cold before using, as this will help to create a crispy coating on the asparagus.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the asparagus, as this will help to ensure that the asparagus cooks evenly.
  • Serve the beer-battered asparagus immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With its crispy coating and tender interior, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy asparagus, give this recipe a try!
