Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs thick asparagus, tough ends trimmed (about 2 bunches, stalks about 1/2 inch thick)
salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet, over medium, heat the oil.
  • Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn. Burnt garlic tastes bitter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and set over medium-high. When the butter has melted, add half of the asparagus with the tips pointing in one direction, and the remaining spears pointing in the opposite direction. (This improves browning.) Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoons salt; using tongs, arrange the spears in an even layer. (They won't quite fit into a single layer.) Cover and cook until the spears are bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium head garlic, unpeeled
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

1 ½ pounds thick stemmed asparagus
4 slices sourdough bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Coat the head of garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and roast 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Once the garlic is roasted, cut the head in half horizontally, exposing all the cloves. Squeeze both halves into a bowl, discarding any skin. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • While the garlic is roasting, place the minced shallot in a bowl with the balsamic and red wine vinegars for about 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. Whisk in remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place asparagus spears in the mixture until ready to grill.
  • Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
  • Place asparagus in a large skillet or directly on the grill. Grill the asparagus, turning over once, until tender, about 10 minutes. While asparagus is grilling, spread the roasted garlic mixture on the bread. Grill bread until toasted. Arrange the bread and asparagus on a plate, and drizzle with the remaining shallot and vinegar mixture.
