Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb asparagus
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
cooking oil
ice cube, in water in a large bowl
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 -2 chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo

Steps:

  • Blanch asparagus in boiling water about 2 minutes.
  • Immediately drain and put asparagus in ice water to stop cooking.
  • This will help keep a slight crunch to the asparagus and keep it bright.
  • Dry asparagus thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Use a little of the reduced fat mayonnaise to coat each asparagus spear, then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  • You can refrigerate at this point if needed.
  • Mix mayonnaise and chipotle together with a whisk or in blender.
  • Use 1-2 depending on how spicy you like it.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil heat to 370 F in a frying pan, put in asparagus but don't crowd.
  • Turn to brown on all sides.
  • Drop some dip into the bottom of a champagne flute, add 3-5 asparagus and serve.
