LEMON DIJON ASPARAGUS



Lemon Dijon Asparagus image

This is my simple, healthy and tasty way to make asparagus! This is also good with balsamic vinegar in place of lemon juice. Yes, this is has very strong flavors but I love it! I recently made this with carrot ribbons made with my vegetable peeler and it was a great addition.

1 (12 ounce) bag frozen thin asparagus spears (I use Trader Joe's frozen) or 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh thin asparagus spears (I use Trader Joe's frozen)

1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
black pepper

Steps:

  • Spray large skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high.

  • Stir together juice of 1 lemon, Dijon mustard and black pepper to taste (I put a lot). Pour mixture into pan with asparagus and toss. Cook 1 minute until heated.

ASPARAGUS FRIES



Asparagus Fries image

Potatoes beware, asparagus are dressing up as French fries. Thanks to a beer batter and hot oil, the green stalks are golden and crispy. Lemon aioli makes great dipping sauce and there are three seasoning options depending on what mood you are in.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 small clove garlic, grated
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup lager, chilled
1 bunch pencil asparagus (about 1 pound), woody ends trimmed and stalks cut in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the seasoning: Stir desired seasoning combination in a large bowl until well mixed.; set aside.
  • For the asparagus fries: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the lager and whisk until smooth. Dip half of the asparagus pieces into the batter, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Carefully add a few of the asparagus pieces at a time to the hot oil until all the battered pieces are added, then fry until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining asparagus pieces and batter, making sure to bring the oil back to 360 degrees F for the second batch.
  • Toss the warm fries in the bowl with the seasoning combination and serve with the lemon aioli.

LEMONY FRESH ASPARAGUS WITH THYME



Lemony Fresh Asparagus With Thyme image

It's amazing how something so simple can be so good! Fresh asparagus spears sauteed in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, lemon thyme, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon. Delicious! I will never go back to plain old steamed asparagus. Serve either hot, cold, or at room temperature. This is a great make-ahead dish.
