Best Narjissiya With Asparagus Halloumi And Sumac Recipes
PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Combine rice and stock and bring to boil in heavy-bottom pot.
- Chop whole onion and heat oil in small nonstick pot. When oil is hot, add the onion, reduce heat to medium high and saute onion until it softens and begins to brown.
- When rice begins to boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover, cooking a total of 17 minutes.
- Wash and break tough stems from asparagus at the point where the woody part meets the tender part. Cut the asparagus just below the head and then cut remaining stems into one-inch pieces.
- When the onion is soft, stir it into the rice. Place a steamer in the pot in which the onion was cooked and place asparagus in the steamer; cook about 3 minutes, until asparagus is crisp but tender.
- Wash, dry and mince enough mint to make 2 tablespoons.
- When rice is cooked, stir in drained asparagus and add mint and the salt.
