SIMPLE ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN



Simple Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic and Parmesan image

Adapted from the Canal House Cooks Every Day cookbook. Asparagus: The Canal House ladies, Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton, suggest purchasing fat asparagus and peeling them. Do this if you are able to or simply buy what is available. I never peel - lazy! - but do so if you wish. Balsamic: You can buy aged balsamic vinegar that's syrupy or you can simmer balsamic vinegar until it's reduced by half its volume. Simply simmer 1/4 cup vinegar in a small saucepan until it is thick and syrupy. Keep a close watch the entire time, and transfer the balsamic to a small bowl as soon as it starts to thicken because it will continue to reduce as it sits. This will give you 1 to 2 tablespoons of syrupy balsamic vinegar.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb. asparagus spears, see notes above
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, preferably flaky sea salt - I've been using Maldon for this one
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Parmigiano Reggiano
1 tablespoon syrupy balsamic vinegar, such as this, or see notes above

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 425ºF, convection roast if you have it.
  • To prepare the asparagus, snap off the end of each spear. Discard or compost the end. Cut the spears in half. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a sheet pan or something similar.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to ensure each spear is nicely coated and seasoned. Transfer pan to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tips of the asparagus are just lightly beginning to char.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Taste one spear. If it tastes under-seasoned, sprinkle the entire dish with more salt to taste. Using a peeler - this is my favorite - shave parmesan over top to taste.
  • Finish the dish by drizzling the syrupy balsamic over top.

I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines and decided to give it a try. I have never cooked asparagus before this and was unsure how it was going to turn out, but I thought it tasted really good.

ASPARAGUS WITH BACON, RED ONION, AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus With Bacon, Red Onion, and Balsamic Vinaigrette image

From America's Test Kitchen. This looks just wonderful. "To prepare the asparagus for this salad, we found that broiling concentrates the flavor of the asparagus and lightly caramelizes the peel. We prefer to use thin (under 5/8-inch) asparagus under the broiler-this lets us skip the peeling step and allows the spears to cook more evenly."

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed (2 bunches)
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch strips (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons minced red onions
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & fresh ground pepper

  • Fry bacon strips in medium skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
