STEAMED WHOLE ARTICHOKES WITH SPICY LEMON CAPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place each artichoke on its side on a flat surface. Use a serrated knife to saw off the stem at the base of the artichoke so it can sit upright on a plate without falling over once cooked.
• In a large pot, add 3 inches of water. Insert a steamer basket. Place the artichokes top-down in the basket, wedged in a single layer. Cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. If the pot runs out of water while cooking, simply add more to the bottom.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, capers, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chives.
• Serve the artichokes with the dipping sauce.

AIR FRYER CRISPY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Make the artichokes: Preheat an air fryer to 360˚ F. Pat the artichoke hearts dry. Halve lengthwise. Put the flour in a shallow bowl; lightly beat the eggs in a second bowl. Whisk the panko, lemon zest, oregano and kosher salt in a third bowl. Coat the artichokes in the flour, then the egg, then the panko mixture.
• Lightly coat the artichokes with cooking spray and arrange sprayed-side down in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook 7 minutes. Spray the tops with more olive oil, flip and cook until golden brown, 7 more minutes.
• Make the dipping sauce: Whisk the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and salt in a small bowl. Serve with the artichokes.

ROAST ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND CAPERS

• Drain and refresh under cold water. Dry on kitchen paper.
• Pour the oil into a shallow roasting tin and roll the asparagus in it to coat.
• Scatter over the garlic slivers and capers and roast for 8-10 minutes until the asparargus is tinged brown and cooked through - test by inserting a knife in a few spears.
• Sprinkle with orange juice, season and serve warm.

ASPARAGUS WITH SAUCE GRIBICHE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath.
• Cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes depending on size; plunge into water bath, then pat dry with paper towels.
• Asparagus can also be pan fried, just until the tips are golden, instead of blanching.
• Coarsely chop the egg whites and set aside; push the yolks through a sieve into a medium sized bowl.
• Separate the egg and place the yolk into a large bowl; reserve the white for another use.
• Whisk mustard and vinegar into the egg yolk; season with salt and pepper.
• Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified and thickened.
• Fold in capers, cornichons, herbs, egg whites, and egg yolks; taste and season again with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Arrange asparagus on a serving platter, or individual plates; top with several dollops of the sauce and garnish with parsley or chervil sprigs.
• NOTE: If substituting with mayonnaise, use about 1/2 cup of that (or more to taste) and leave out the egg entirely. Use mustard and vinegar to taste as well as the salt and pepper. Leave out the oil.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY LEEKS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put asparagus on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated.
• In a small bowl, stir together leeks, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle leeks on top of asparagus, then sprinkle with capers. Roast until asparagus are tender and golden brown, about 12 to 18 minutes.
• While the asparagus stalks roast, make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, capers and garlic. Slowly whisk in olive oil a few drops at a time to create a thick, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once asparagus stalks are out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over it and sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with mustard sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

PAN-FRIED ASPARAGUS WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook for 1 minute then add the asparagus. Cook for 5 minutes and season with a little salt and pepper. Serve warm.

ASPARAGUS WITH ANCHOVIES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Place the garlic, anchovy fillets and capers in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender (do not brown), three to five minutes. Stir in the garlic and anchovy paste, and cook, stirring, for another minute. Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice, mint, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 to 30 minutes or longer. The flavors will mellow.
• Steam the asparagus for three to five minutes until just tender. Remove to a platter or a wide bowl, and add the remaining olive oil and the onion mixture. Toss gently and serve.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTERED ALMONDS, CAPERS AND DILL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet (baking tray) with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl or on a work surface, use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Arrange asparagus in the paper-lined pan, spaced well apart, and roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until asparagus is soft and starting to brown in places, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan.
• In a small or medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy. Add almonds and fry, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching). Pour almonds and butter evenly over asparagus.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the capers and fry, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove capers from the oil and sprinkle over the asparagus. Add dill. Using tongs or two spoons, mix gently to combine, transfer to a large plate and serve warm.
