ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES



Asparagus with Tomatoes image

This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves, minced, divided
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 1/3 cups Israeli couscous (6 to 7 ounces)
1 3/4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
14 ounces slender asparagus spears, trimmed, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup shelled fresh green peas or frozen, thawed
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and lemon peel in small bowl; set dressing aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add couscous, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until most of couscous is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups broth, increase heat, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls if too dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add asparagus, sugar snap peas, green peas, and remaining garlic clove. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables to large bowl.
  • Add couscous to bowl with vegetables. Drizzle dressing over. Add chives and cheese; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Test-kitchen tip:
  • To trim asparagus, hold onto the top of the stalk with one hand and bend the bottom of the stalk with your other hand. The stalk will snap, separating the woody end from the tender top.

Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Before starting to cook, measure and chop all the ingredients. This will streamline the cooking process and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Asparagus: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh asparagus. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends.
  • Cook Couscous Properly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the couscous. Generally, it involves bringing water or broth to a boil, adding the couscous, and then removing it from the heat and letting it sit, covered, for the specified time.
  • Season the Couscous Well: Add salt and pepper to the couscous when cooking it. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. If you don't have time to roast them, you can use sun-dried tomatoes instead.
  • Use High-Quality Parmesan Cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese you use will greatly impact the taste of the dish. Use a good quality, aged Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and freshness.
