Oven-Roasted Asparagus image

Salty and savory, the roasting method kills the natural bitterness of asparagus. Try it next to grilled fish or lamb.

ASPARAGUS FRITTERS

Asparagus Fritters image

Categories Bread Fry Asparagus Boil

Yield makes 10 to 12 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 bunches medium asparagus spears, peeled at the base (about 22 spears)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.
