DEEP-DISH HAM QUICHE WITH HERB AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Deep-Dish Ham Quiche with Herb and Asparagus Salad image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin-olive oil
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced
3/4 pound smoked ham, cubed
8 large eggs
1 quart heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches asparagus (about 1 pound each), stems trimmed
4 ounces Parmesan, shaved with a peeler
2 handfuls fresh flat-leaf parsley, hand-torn
1 handful fresh mint, hand-torn
1 handful fresh dill, hand-torn
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the pastry: combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg yolk and ice water in a small bowl to blend, add it to the pastry. Work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into a 14-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside a 9-inch springform pan. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and sides so it fits tightly; trim the excess dough around the rim. Place the pan on a sturdy cookie sheet so it will be easier to move in and out of the oven, this quiche is pretty heavy.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To make the filling: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, coat the pan with oil, and add the onions. Slowly cook the onions, stirring, until they caramelize and release their natural sugars. Add a couple of tablespoons of water to help the onions break down, if needed. Toss in the ham, cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes to get some color on it. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, pour in the cream; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the caramelized onions and ham over the bottom of the crust and carefully pour in the cream and egg mixture; the filling should be about 1-inch from the top of the pan. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes or until the quiche is set, puffy, and jiggles slightly. Remove to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes. In the meantime make the asparagus salad.
  • To make the asparagus salad: In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the asparagus for 4 minutes, or until they are just crisp-tender. Drain the asparagus, transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, and drain well. Slice the asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces and put them in a mixing bowl. Add the Parmesan and herbs, drizzle the herb and asparagus salad with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  • Loosen the quiche from the sides of the pan by running a thin metal spatula around the inside rim. Carefully unmold the ring, and transfer the quiche (with the bottom base) to a serving plate. Cut it into wedges, drizzle with a little olive oil, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with the asparagus salad on top.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM



Roasted Asparagus Wrapped in Serrano Ham image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Canola oil spray
1 pound thinly sliced serrano ham (about 24 slices)
1 pound asparagus, stalks trimmed to equal lengths
1 tablespoon orange zest and 2 tablespoons juice
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with canola oil spray.
  • Lay a slice of ham on a work surface. Place a stalk of asparagus perpendicular to the ham, with the tip of the asparagus just higher than the top edge of the ham. Roll the asparagus on a diagonal, tightly wrapping the ham around the stalk as you go. (The ham should cover the entire stalk except for about an inch on the top and bottom ends.) Repeat with the remaining asparagus and ham.
  • Place the asparagus, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the tops with canola oil spray. Bake until the ham is crispy and the asparagus has softened and begun to char at the tips, about 15 minutes. Immediately pour the orange juice over the hot asparagus and season with salt. (The orange juice will almost completely evaporate on the hot baking sheet, but it will infuse the asparagus with orange flavor.)
  • Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and garnish with the orange zest. Serve immediately.

PEA, ASPARAGUS & HAM HOCK TART



Pea, asparagus & ham hock tart image

Nothing says spring more than peas and asparagus. Showcase their grassy sweetness by combining with ham hock in a luxurious quiche, encased in golden, flaky pastry

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 17

200g fresh podded peas, or use frozen (defrosted)
8 asparagus spears, halved
4 eggs
200g double cream
200g crème fraîche
flat-leaf parsley or mint (or use a mixture), finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
25g parmesan, finely grated
150g cooked ham hock, shredded
250g plain flour
125g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2tsp mustard powder (optional)
30g parmesan, finely grated
25g pea shoots
50g mangetout, halved lengthways
½ tsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • First, make the pastry. Rub the flour, butter, mustard powder (if using), parmesan and 1 tsp fine salt together in a large bowl using your fingertips until the mixture resembles sand. Or, do this by pulsing the ingredients together in a food processor. Gradually add 4-6 tbsp cold water, pressing the mixture together until you have a soft dough. Briefly knead the dough until smooth.
  • Roll the pastry out between two sheets of baking parchment until 3mm thick and large enough to line a 20 x 7cm loose-bottomed springform cake tin. Remove the top layer of parchment and invert the pastry into the tin, or drape it over the rolling pin and unravel it into the tin. Push the pastry into the base and up the side - there should be about 1½cm excess pastry that comes above the rim. Use your thumbs and index finger to crimp the excess around the edge. Chill for at least 1 hr 30 mins or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, cook the peas and asparagus in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, or just 2 mins for defrosted frozen peas. Immediately plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water to halt the cooking process, and leave to cool in the bowl for 2 mins. Drain and set aside until needed.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick the base of the chilled pastry case all over with a fork. Scrunch up a piece of baking parchment, then use it to line the case, leaving some overhanging. Fill the case all the way to the top with baking beans or uncooked dry beans or rice. Bake for 15 mins, then remove the beans and parchment and bake for 10-15 mins more until golden. Don't worry if it shrinks from the edge slightly. Leave to cool while you make the filling.
  • Whisk together the eggs, double cream and crème fraîche, then mix in the herbs, spring onions, lemon zest and juice, parmesan and cooked peas. Season with sea salt and a good crack of black pepper, then pour the filling into the baked case. Sprinkle the shredded ham hock over, pressing it into the filling slightly, then arrange the asparagus spears on top.
  • Turn the oven down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake the quiche for 45-55 mins until golden on top with a slight wobble in the middle. Leave to cool for 20 mins in the tin, then serve warm or leave to cool completely and chill until needed. Will keep chilled for three days.
  • When ready to serve, toss the pea shoots and mangetout with the olive oil, then pile in the middle of the quiche. Cut into wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Select a fully cooked ham that is of good quality and flavor.
  • Trim Asparagus Properly: Remove the tough ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife. Peel the asparagus if desired, especially if using thicker spears.
  • Cook Asparagus Correctly: Boil, steam, or roast the asparagus until tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooking will make the asparagus limp and lose its vibrant color.
  • Use a Quality Ham: Select a fully cooked ham that is of good quality and flavor. You can use a spiral-cut ham for easy slicing or a whole ham for a more traditional presentation.
  • Enhance Flavor with Herbs and Spices: Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the asparagus for extra flavor. You can also use spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve Immediately: Ham and asparagus are best served immediately after cooking to preserve their flavors and textures. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and reheated before serving.

Conclusion:

Ham and asparagus make a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With its tender-crisp asparagus, savory ham, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you choose to boil, steam, or roast the asparagus, be sure to cook it properly to maintain its vibrant color and flavor.
