Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus spears, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 1/4 cups chopped green onions
1/3 cup minced shallots
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in reserved 1 cup broth, 1 tablespoon oil, mustard, lemon juice, thyme and lemon peel. Simmer until slightly thickened and liquid is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.
  • Arrange asparagus on platter. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup green onions and bell peppers.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Time 11m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb asparagus
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon paprika
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Break off woody ends of asparagus.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and paprika and mix together well with a fork.
  • Lay the asparagus side by side and pierce with skewers to form a raft.
  • If you use bamboo skewers, don't forget to soak them for 30 minutes before using, so they don't catch fire.
  • Place asparagus rafts on the grill and brush with the olive oil mixture.
  • Cook to your desired tenderness (it takes almost no time at all), and season with salt and pepper.
