ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRUNCHY PARMESAN TOPPING



Roasted Asparagus With Crunchy Parmesan Topping image

This comforting gratin is ready in less than 30 minutes. Feel free to use the thin asparagus, as noted in the recipe, or use thick asparagus, trimmed and peeled, as in the video. Or, just use the Parmesan breadcrumb topping on another favorite vegetable. It's a welcome and perfectly crisp addition to just about any meat or vegetable.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 thick slice good bread
1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano, about 1 ounce
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, more or less
3 tablespoons butter, extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
  • Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
  • Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
  • Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GLAZED COOKED AND RAW ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER AND PARMESAN



Glazed Cooked and Raw Asparagus with Butter and Parmesan image

Provided by Alain Ducasse

Categories     Cheese     Vegetable     Appetizer     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Asparagus     Spring

Yield Serves 4 as a first course or accompaniment

Number Of Ingredients 6

40 medium green asparagus spears (about 2 pounds), trimmed to about 5 inchesand peeled, plus tips only of 4 medium asparagus spears, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil, chilled

Steps:

  • To cook the asparagus: Using kitchen string, tie the asparagus spears together in bunches of five. Bring a large pot of water, with the salt, to a rapid boil. Plunge in the asparagus bunches and cook until the tip of a knife can pierce a stalk without resistance, about 4 minutes. Remove the asparagus and pat the bunches dry, then carefully untie the strings.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in each of two large skillets over medium heat (if you have just one large frying pan, cook in two batches). When the butter is white and bubbly, lay the asparagus in the pans in a single layer. Roll the stalks around so that each gets well covered with butter and cook for 2 minutes or so, until they take on a shiny, "gilded" look. Sprinkle on the Parmesan and remove from the heat.
  • To finish the dish: Divide the asparagus among four warmed serving dishes, then scatter the chopped asparagus tips over the cooked asparagus. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground pepper over each serving, then drizzle 1 teaspoon of chilled olive oil in a thin filament around the edge of each plate. Serve immediately.
  • Variations: Instead of drizzling olive oil onto the serving plates, substitute a thin filament of highly reduced pan drippings from a roast, punctuated around each plate by 6 tiny Niçoise olives. Or garnish each plate with 4 fresh morel mushrooms that have been sautéed in butter with minced shallots.
