ASPARAGUS WITH GREEN GARLIC



Asparagus With Green Garlic image

When you sauté or roast asparagus in hot olive oil, the asparagus will have a much more concentrated flavor than it would if steamed or blanched. Here I add the garlic to the pan once the asparagus is just about done, so that the garlic cooks only long enough to soften and sweeten. You can serve this skillet dish with grains or pasta, or with eggs -- fried, poached or scrambled. I find this asparagus so hard to resist that I decided to give you a range for the weight. One pound is adequate, but you might want to treat yourself to more than that.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small bulb green garlic that has formed cloves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 2-inch lengths
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Separate the garlic bulb into cloves, remove the thick skins from each clove, and cut the garlic into thin slices.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the asparagus and salt to taste. Sauté until the asparagus is tender and the skin has shriveled slightly, about five minutes. Add the garlic, and continue to sauté for another minute until the garlic is translucent. Adjust salt, add the pepper and parsley, and serve.

OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC BROILED ASPARAGUS



Olive Oil and Garlic Broiled Asparagus image

This is just my way of making grilled asparagus inside, as I no longer have access to a grill. Too easy not to make. You can use real garlic if you like, but just to make things easier and faster (on weeknights) I use the powder and garlic salt. If you do use real garlic, mince it as finely as you can, and sub sea salt for the garlic salt.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

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 fresh asparagus: Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus with woody ends or yellow or brown spots.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it naturally snaps. Peel the bottom inch or two of the spears if they are thick.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Overcooking asparagus will make it tough and mushy. Cook it for just a few minutes, until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Asparagus can be roasted, grilled, steamed, or sautéed. Each cooking method will give the asparagus a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Add flavor with simple ingredients: Asparagus pairs well with a variety of flavors, such as garlic, lemon, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Keep your seasonings simple to allow the natural flavor of the asparagus to shine through.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its bright green color, crisp texture, and slightly sweet flavor, asparagus is a welcome addition to any meal. Whether you are roasting it, grilling it, steaming it, or sautéing it, asparagus is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give asparagus a try.
