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.

ASPARAGUS WITH HAM AND EGGS



Asparagus With Ham and Eggs image

This is the traditional way to eat asparagus in The Netherlands and probably in Germany and Belgium too. Mostly used are the white asparagus here. I make them using green or white asparagus based on what is available and how the price is. You will need more when using white asparagus because they need to be peeled unlike the green ones. This dish is served here with melted butter drizzled over the asparagus, ham and egg, and some boiled new potatoes. This makes 2 pretty large servings.

JALAPEñO JANGJORIM WITH JAMMY EGGS



Jalapeño Jangjorim With Jammy Eggs image

Jangjorim is a Korean dish of soy sauce-braised meat, often studded with pulled eye of round (sometimes sold as "jangjorim meat" at Korean grocery stores), hard-boiled eggs and wrinkly kkwarigochu (shishito peppers), which are mild enough to eat whole. This version, inspired by my mother's recipe, uses eggs that are just boiled enough that they'll peel easily and the yolks will remain fudgy. In place of the shishitos are fat, juicy jalapeños, adding a welcome freshness and fruity heat. And the beef is brisket, shredded into long, pleasurably chewy strands, which soak up the umami-rich soy sauce brine. As a banchan, this dish is an ideal accompaniment to a bowl of fresh white rice. Any leftover sauce you might have is a large part of the joy of making jangjorim: It tastes fabulous when soaked into rice with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, or as a sweet, saline base for soba noodles.

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ice, as needed
5 large eggs
1 pound beef brisket, cut into 3-inch cubes
1/2 medium yellow onion, unpeeled
2 large scallions, halved crosswise
1 (5-inch) square dasima (dried kelp)
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, unpeeled and thinly sliced
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
4 large jalapeños, halved lengthwise, deseeded if you don't like heat
7 large garlic cloves, peeled

Steps:

  • In a medium pot over high heat, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Set up an ice bath in a medium bowl.
  • Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook at a moderate boil for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
  • Gently nestle the beef brisket into the pot of hot water; add the onion, scallions, dasima and ginger. Bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat to medium and cook at a gentle boil until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Using a pair of tongs, transfer the meat onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. As the meat cools, strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl and discard the aromatics. Add 3 cups of broth back to the pot. (Any remaining broth can be reserved for soup or noodles.) Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and mirin to the pot and stir until combined. With your hands, shred the beef into thin strands, and add to the pot as well.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the soy sauce brine reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Nestle in the peeled eggs along with the jalapeños and garlic. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Serve at room temperature. (If preparing in advance, transfer the mixture to a resealable container, such as a Mason jar, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This dish tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH COUNTRY HAM, RED-EYE GRAVY, AND POACHED EGGS



Roasted Asparagus with Country Ham, Red-Eye Gravy, and Poached Eggs image

Categories     Sauce     Egg     Side     Poach     Roast     Ham     Asparagus     Healthy     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Asparagus
1 pound asparagus, trimmed or peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ham and Gravy
4 thin slices country ham (about 6 ounces)
1 cup strong black coffee
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Eggs
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
Pinch of sea salt
1 or 2 large eggs per person
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Asparagus
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast until the color intensifies to a bright green and the asparagus spears are tender with crispy edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover loosely to keep warm.
  • Ham and Gravy
  • While the asparagus is in the oven, heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until the meat is warmed through and begins to brown slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and cover loosely to keep warm.
  • Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the heat and add the coffee and butter. Stir to mix, scraping the bottom and sides to incorporate any bits of meat. Cook until the gravy reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the dish is assembled.
  • Eggs
  • Fill another large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add the vinegar and salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and poach for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks (see Know-how, below). Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
  • Assembly
  • Divide the asparagus evenly between individual serving plates or place on a large serving platter and top with the ham. Place 1 or 2 eggs on each slice of ham and spoon the gravy on top. Sprinkle with the tarragon and additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve hot.
  • Know-how: Making Poached Eggs
  • Poached eggs are as healthy as hard-boiled eggs because they are cooked in water, and as versatile as fried eggs, with yolks as runny or firm as you please. They are easy to make, too. The touch of vinegar added to the water helps the eggs keep their shape while they cook.
  • Fill a large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Break 1 egg into a small bowl or measuring cup, taking care not to break the yolk. Quickly turn the egg out of the bowl into the simmering water so the egg keeps its shape when it hits the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, working in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks. For a firmer yolk, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.

TORTA RUSTICA WITH RICOTTA AND SPINACH



Torta Rustica With Ricotta and Spinach image

Torta rustica (also called pizza rustica) is a rich, ricotta-stuffed pie that's traditionally baked for Easter in Southern Italy. This version includes greens (either spinach or chard) for color and freshness. The ham is optional; feel free to leave it out, or substitute chopped olives or sundried tomatoes if you're looking for a similar savory bite. The crust, adapted from Nancy Harmon Jenkins's 2007 cookbook, "Cucina del Sole," is sturdy and slightly sweet, which makes a nice contrast to the salty filling. (For more on producing a lattice-style crust, see our How to Make Pie Crust guide.)

Categories     pies and tarts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 1/2 cups/310 grams all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
3/4 cup/170 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg
1 large egg white (save the yolk for the egg wash)
Zest from 1 lemon
3 to 4 tablespoons iced dry white wine or ice water spiked with 1/2 teaspoon cider or white wine vinegar
3 cups/24 ounces whole-milk ricotta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
About 5 cups/5 ounces baby spinach or chard, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt, plus more as needed
2 large eggs
2 cups/8 ounces shredded fresh mozzarella
1 cup/4 ounces grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan (pecorino is stronger, Parmesan is milder, or use a combination)
1/2 cup/4 ounces ham, diced (optional)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water)

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms lima bean-size pieces. Alternatively, mix together flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl, then add butter, working the pieces into the flour with your hands, squeezing and pinching them until the mixture looks like oatmeal.
  • Add egg, egg white and lemon zest, and pulse after each addition. If working by hand, whisk together egg, egg white and lemon zest in a separate bowl, then mix into the butter mixture. Slowly add iced wine, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse or mix by hand until the dough just comes together. You may not need all the liquid. The dough should be moist, but not wet.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gather and press it into a ball. Divide into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other, and shape into disks. Wrap the disks tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 5 days.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Make the filling: If your ricotta seems watery, put it in a sieve and let it drain while you cook the spinach.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and a large pinch of salt, and continue to cook until spinach is very dry, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. If any liquid accumulates as the spinach sits, pour it out of the bowl (you don't want it to water down the ricotta).
  • In a food processor, purée drained ricotta and eggs until just combined and smooth. Add to the bowl with the spinach and fold in mozzarella, pecorino, ham (if using), parsley, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red-pepper flakes and nutmeg. Set aside when rolling out dough (or chill for up to 4 hours).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger pastry dough disk to a 14-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Fit dough into a 9-inch springform pan, pressing the dough up the sides of the pan. Scrape filling into crust and spread evenly. Roll out second pastry disk to a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut 1/2-inch-wide strips and weave into a lattice on top of the filling. Seal, trim and crimp the edges. Brush the top of the torta with the egg wash.
  • Place torta on sheet pan and bake until crust is crisp and brown, and filling is firm, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes before serving.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS



Roasted Asparagus Salad with Poached Eggs image

Roasting offers an easy, no-fuss way to quickly prepare asparagus. Reducing the balsamic vinegar before drizzling it over the vegetables concentrates its flavor to mimic aged varieties. Serve the dish for lunch or along with a green salad for a light dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch medium-thick asparagus (about 1 pound), tough ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
4 large eggs, poached (page 156)
2 ounces parmesan cheese, shaved (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle asparagus with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine, then spread in an even layer. Roast until asparagus is lightly browned and tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and brown sugar over medium-high until syrupy and reduced to 3 tablespoons, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes.
  • To serve, divide asparagus evenly among four plates; drizzle with balsamic mixture. Top each portion with a poached egg and shaved parmesan.

POACHED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS



Poached Eggs and Asparagus image

This is a family recipe my mother made for me growing up. My grandfather had several acres of asparagus on his farm, and this was something they served during the spring and fall whenever asparagus was plentiful. This recipe is also good served with warm breakfast ham or Canadian bacon--just put in on the toast before the egg. Top this masterpiece with another slice of toast to make a sandwich and eat it on the go.

CRUNCHY SPRING ICEBERG SALAD



Crunchy Spring Iceberg Salad image

A big plate of greens may feel virtuous, but this one is also luxurious. This is a very green salad, with chunks of crisp iceberg lettuce serving as a bed for briefly blanched peas and asparagus, topped with a cooling-yet-spicy cilantro yogurt. Tearing the iceberg into bite-size chunks makes this an easy-to-eat salad, no knife required. It's particularly great for outdoor dining or for those who need to eat with one hand. (We see you, new parents.) The feta adds lovely hints of tang and saltiness that work well with the herbaceous yogurt. The peas and asparagus bring freshness; you could also use other springtime staples such as snow peas, sugar snap peas or sliced radish. Serve with jammy boiled eggs for something heartier.

Provided by Hetty McKinnon

Categories     weekday, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt and black pepper
2 cups frozen peas
16 to 20 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces (about 12 ounces)
1 (1½-pound) medium head iceberg lettuce
6 ounces feta, drained and broken into chunks
Handful of cilantro leaves, for serving
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and tender stems from about ½ bunch)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon or lime (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 to 2 jalapeños or serrano chiles, trimmed and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
  • Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
  • Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.

ROAST PEPPERS WITH 'JAMMY' EGGS & ALMOND & PARSLEY DRESSING



Roast peppers with 'jammy' eggs & almond & parsley dressing image

Cook up a speedy lunch of roast peppers with soft eggs, served with an almond and parsley dressing. Enjoy with crusty bread

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Lunch

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 7

20g blanched almonds, chopped
1 small bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar or sherry vinegar
7 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 medium eggs
250g roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and sliced into strips crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Make the dressing by bashing the almonds, parsley, garlic and some seasoning together using a pestle and mortar. You want to create a slightly chunky mixture. Stir in the vinegar and the olive oil, bashing gently as you go. Taste for seasoning, bearing in mind that the dressing can be quite strong as you are pouring it over eggs.
  • Boil a pan of water, add the eggs and cook for 7-8 mins. This will give you what some people call 'jammy' eggs - they are only just firm enough to be considered hard-boiled, and the very centre is still a little soft. Put the eggs in cold water, then peel them as soon as they're warm enough to handle. Halve the eggs and arrange them on a serving plate. Season, then drape the peppers around the eggs and spoon the dressing over the top. Eat with some good crusty bread, while the eggs are still warm.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND JAMMY EGGS AND HAM



Roasted Asparagus and Jammy Eggs and Ham image

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pieces Jumbo Eggs
2 bunches Asparagus
2 tablespoons Fresh Dill Weed
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Honey
4 ounces Ham or Salmon Lox, thinly sliced in small pieces
5 ounces Plain 2% or Whole Greek Yogurt
3 tablespoons Capers, chopped plus 2 T Brine
1/4 cup Red onion or shallot thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 425. Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest and juice, honey and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 t pepper. Drizzle over asparagus and toss to coat.
  • Bring water to boil. Add eggs with slotted spoon. Reduce to simmer 7 minutes. Remove eggs to cool in cold water bowl for perfect "jammy" eggs.
  • Roast Asparagus and Ham for 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Stir together yogurt, 2T dill, capers and brine. Serve on the side in a mound.
  • Arrange egg halves on top of asparagus. Add red onions and dill weed for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are thick and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are thin or have woody ends.
  • Roast the asparagus properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the asparagus at a high temperature (425°F or higher) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes). This will help to caramelize the asparagus and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Make sure the eggs are jammy: To achieve the perfect jammy eggs, cook them for 6-7 minutes in boiling water. This will result in eggs that have a soft, runny yolk and a slightly firm white.
  • Use high-quality ham: The quality of the ham will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Look for ham that is smoked or cured and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The asparagus will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus, jammy eggs, and ham is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is both flavorful and satisfying. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
