Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, sliced
4 sprigs thyme, plus 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fig jam
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup country Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 small fully cooked boneless ham (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds)
4 medium russet potatoes
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 cup shredded gruyère cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Buttered dinner rolls, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme sprigs and a large pinch each of salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat; remove from the heat and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the ham: Stir together the fig jam, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves; set aside. Score lines in a crosshatch pattern, 1 inch apart, into the top and sides of the ham; loosely wrap in a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, pouring 1/4 cup water over the ham before sealing. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Make the potatoes: Cut a thin sliver from one long side of a potato so that it sits flat; position cut-side down between the handles of two wooden spoons. Using a sharp knife, make cuts in the potato 1/8 inch apart, stopping when your knife hits the spoon handles (do not cut all the way through). Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Arrange on the baking sheet with the ham, drizzle with half of the garlic butter and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake 40 minutes.
  • Open the foil and brush the ham with two-thirds of the fig glaze (leave the foil open). Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining garlic butter. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the ham reaches 145˚ F, the glaze is browned and the potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 40 more minutes.
  • Make the asparagus: Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the ham with the remaining glaze. Push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet and sprinkle with the cheese. Spread the asparagus in the open space on the baking sheet. Continue baking until the ham glaze is sticky, the cheese on the potatoes is melted and the asparagus is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the ham rest 10 minutes, then slice. Sprinkle the potatoes with the thyme leaves and chives. Serve with rolls.

GRILLED HAM AND ASPARAGUS PANINI



Grilled Ham and Asparagus Panini image

Grilled Ham and Asparagus Panini Recipe from Festival Foods. This is by far my most favorite sandwich of the month. I like mine with roasted asparagus and sourdough bread. Another great option is using some melty Fontina or farmers cheese. I have also made this with thick pita bread and it adds another dimension. I love to make this sandwich for those days when you want something from those expensive Bistros, but also want to make it your own. Please try your own style and let me know how it turns out for you!

Provided by LilPinkieJ

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

12 asparagus spears, lightly steamed (Try roasting for a twist)
4 ounces asiago cheese, sliced with a vegetable peeler
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, sliced into thin strips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix garlic salt and butter together. Brush one side of each of the pieces of bread. In another bowl mix mayo and pesto sauce.
  • Spread mayo/pesto on other side of each slice of bread. Top 1/2 of slices of bread with ham, asparagus spears, red pepper and Asiago.
  • Top with remaining bread slices and cook in a panini grill or in a large skillet with a little extra butter (like you would a grill cheese, pressing down with a heavy pan on top.).
  • Cook until bread is toasted and sandwich is heated through.

Categories     Cheese     Pork     Vegetable     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Easter     Quick & Easy     Spring     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place in bottom and press all around sides of 10-inch tart pan with 1-inch high sides:
1 12-inch purchased pie crust
Bake crust until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool.
For tart filling, mix in medium bowl:
1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
4 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
Salt
Pepper
Drop in large pan of salted boiling water. Cook 3 minutes; drain. Cool in bowl of ice water. Drain, then slice each spear into 4 or 5 pieces:
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
Toss asparagus in medium bowl with:
5 cups arugula
8 ounces thinly sliced ham, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon peel
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • To assemble tart, spread filling evenly into cooled crust. Top with asparagus-ham-arugula mixture and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good sub roll should be soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy crust. Look for rolls that are fresh and have a light golden-brown color.
  • Don't overstuff the sub: Too much filling can make the sub difficult to eat and may cause it to fall apart. Aim for a ratio of about 1:1 filling to bread.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your sub will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful produce, and high-quality deli meats and cheeses.
  • Season the filling: Don't just pile the ingredients onto the sub without seasoning them. Add some salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the filling and will also give it a nice, crispy flavor.
  • Serve the sub with your favorite dipping sauce: A good dipping sauce can really take your sub to the next level. Try a classic marinara sauce, a creamy ranch dressing, or a zesty horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

With its endless possibilities for customization, the ham and asparagus sub is a sandwich that everyone can enjoy. Whether you like your subs simple or loaded with toppings, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give the ham and asparagus sub a try. You won't be disappointed!
