Best Asparagus Fries With Sour Cream And Chive Dip Recipes
ASPARAGUS FRIES
Potatoes beware, asparagus are dressing up as French fries. Thanks to a beer batter and hot oil, the green stalks are golden and crispy. Lemon aioli makes great dipping sauce and there are three seasoning options depending on what mood you are in.

Steps:
- For the seasoning: Stir desired seasoning combination in a large bowl until well mixed.; set aside.
- For the asparagus fries: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the lager and whisk until smooth. Dip half of the asparagus pieces into the batter, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Carefully add a few of the asparagus pieces at a time to the hot oil until all the battered pieces are added, then fry until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining asparagus pieces and batter, making sure to bring the oil back to 360 degrees F for the second batch.
- Toss the warm fries in the bowl with the seasoning combination and serve with the lemon aioli.
FRESH ASPARAGUS IN SOUR CREAM
An elegant side dish made from fresh asparagus spears and homemade sauce (no canned soup). Adapted from "Best of the Best of Georgia." If you are using green asparagus, you will only need to peel the bigger stalks; if using white asparagus, definitely peel them all.

Since I'm from Wisconsin, I thought it was only logical to put together a vegetable and a cheese-two of the foods my state produces in abundance. This cheesy asparagus dip fits the bill. -Sandra Baratka, Phillips, Wisconsin
