Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 fat fresh asparagus spears
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1/3 cup good quality olive oil
2 -4 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon herbs, mixture such as italian or 1/2 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon peppercorn
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup dry white french vermouth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh minced parsley

Steps:

  • Before peeling asparagus, start on the marinade. In a heavy saucepan, cook onions slowly in the olive oil with garlic, zest, herbs, and bay leaf. When tender (about 10 minutes), add peppercorns, wine, lemon juice, water, and salt. Cover and simmer slowly for about 20 minutes.
  • Peel asparagus. Lay in a flameproof casserole dish and pour marinade over so asparagus is just covered with liquid (more water may be added if needed). Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer slowly for 20 minutes, or until asparagus is tender. Take out asparagus and arrange on serving platter. Boil down the cooking liquid until lightly syrupy and spoon over the asparagus. Sprinkle with parsley.

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup minced lemongrass, from 2 stalks (trim all but bottom 3-4 inches, remove tough outer sheath, then cut finely)
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb asparagus, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-to 3/8-inch wedges
2 -3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil

Steps:

  • Freeze the tenderloin until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick medallions. Slice each medaillon into 1/3-inch-wide strips.
  • Combine the pork, 1 tsp fish sauce, and the soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tbsp fish sauce, the chicken broth, lime juice, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a measuring cup.
  • Combine garlic, lemon grass, red pepper flakes and 1 tbsp of the oil.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tsps oil in a nonstick 12-inch skillet or in a wok over high heat until smoking; add half of the pork to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the clumps, until well browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl. Repeat with an additional 1 1/2 tsps oil and the remaining pork.
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to the now-empty skillet or wok; add the asparagus and cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the water, cover the pan, and lower the heat to medium. Steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes; transfer the asparagus to the bowl with the pork.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 tsps oil to the skillet or wok; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and soften, about two minutes.
  • Clear the center of the skillet; add the garlic and lemon grass mixture to the clearing and cook, mashing the mixture with a spoon, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir the mixture into the onion. Return the pork and asparagus to the skillet and toss to combine. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet/wok; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and evenly distributed, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the thai basil. Serve immediately.
