Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1 Tbsp preserved lemon (read prep *note below)
1/2 tsp coarse salt (french, kosher, pyramid, etc.)
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin (or more if desired)

Steps:

  • 1. *Note: Rinse the preserved lemon in a fine mesh strainer first. Two options: the pulp can be removed before chopping the preserved lemon. {Or} chop it whole including the rind and pulp-but remember to remove any seeds in either case.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 400°. Place asparagus in a single layer in a parchment-lined wide and shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss the spears to coat them. Sprinkle with minced preserved lemon, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • 3. Roast asparagus to desired doneness (10 minutes for medium-thick spears). Serve immediately.
  • 4. Suggestion: After removing the asparagus from the oven I set the spears aside to cool about 10-15 minutes. I lined a serving platter with a mix of fresh baby spinach leaves and arugula. Once the asparagus spears had cooled, they were transferred to the platter (*including* the juices and bit and pieces of the preserved lemon) and then garnished the top with fresh chives including chive blossoms.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would experiment with different herbs and spices to find a flavor combination that I really love.

I would make this dish again, but I would add some other vegetables, like broccoli or zucchini.

This dish was okay. The asparagus was a little tough, but the preserved lemon added a nice flavor.

This recipe was a disaster. The asparagus was mushy and the preserved lemon was way too salty.

Not a fan. The asparagus was bland and the preserved lemon was overpowering.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less preserved lemon next time.

The asparagus was a little overcooked for my taste, but the preserved lemon flavor was delicious. I would try this recipe again with a shorter cooking time.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The asparagus was perfectly roasted and the preserved lemon added a nice lemony flavor. I served it with grilled salmon and it was a hit.
