Best Awesome Asparagus Recipes

AWESOME ASPARAGUS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss asparagus and red pepper with olive oil. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake until tender, about 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove skin from the pepper and slice into strips.
• Cut hoagie rolls in half, place on a baking sheet, and toast lightly in the oven. Remove rolls from the oven and sprinkle each half with cheese. Place 4 to 5 asparagus spears and a few strips of pepper on one side. Place slices of tomato on the other side of the roll. Place the hoagies back in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic together. Spread the dressing on one side of the roll and close sandwich.

AWESOME ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In medium fry pan (preferably non stick), heat oil and butter on med-high heat. Place asparagus in pan trying to get in a single layer so all can cook evenly. Season with the salt and pepper (adjusting to taste), cover with a lid to help "steam" the asparagus for about 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally with tongs.
• When done to your likeness of crisp or tender, toss in the parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

AWESOME ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 1. Make the sauce. Whisk the lemon juice into the grated cheese and drizzle in enough olive oil to make a creamy dressing, set aside.
• 2. Poach four eggs.
• 3. Meanwhile, cook the asparagus bundles in boiling salted water until just tender (3 to 4 minutes).
• 4. Remove the string and place an asparagus bundle on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with the cheese sauce. Place a poached egg on top of each asparagus bundle. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint and drizzle the plate with some additional olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

AWESOME RICE AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Use a very large skillet (I use my chicken fryer) and fry tomatoes and onions in 3 T. butter.
• Add the rice and cook till it absorbs most of the tomato liquid.
• Add the water and beef bouillon cubes, cook till rice is done.
• Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, put a layer of rice mixture, then a layer of sour cream, a layer of asparagus, then a layer of parmesan cheese. Repeat using all ingredients and ending with asparagus and parmesan.
• Bake in a 350* oven for 15 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
• I press the rice down with the back of my spoon to make it stick together better so when the pan is done it can be cut into squares and it stays together. Note: You can use any rice but I prefer to use Jasmine because it will stick together the best and we love the taste of Jasmine rice.
