BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus image

While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

ASPARAGUS WITH BACON



Asparagus With Bacon image

Make and share this Asparagus With Bacon recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Michael Kinsel

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon, diced
1/4 cup red onion (chopped finely)
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb asparagus, trimmed, sliced in 2 to 3 inch inch lengths
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • (Optional) cook an additional 8 slices of bacon to wrap around asparagus into bundles (2 slices each bundle).
  • Cook bacon until nice and crispy; remove to paper towels to drain. (If wrapping into bundles, cook 8 slices of bacon so that bacon is cooked, but NOT crispy. Crispy bacon is very difficult to wrap around the asparagus if it is too crispy).
  • Steam the asparagus for 4 - 6 minutes.
  • Remove some of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving two to three tablespoons. In a large fry pan or Wok, add onion, butter, bacon grease and cook onion until soft. Add asparagus to the pan and sauté over medium to low heat for about 4 minutes, turning asparagus every 15 seconds.
  • Put in a bowl and toss with the mustard and vinegar. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • (Optional) Split Asparagus into 4 bundles and wrap with 2 slices of bacon.
