ROASTED ASPARAGUS & POTATO SALAD



Roasted Asparagus & Potato Salad image

This is a modification of a recipe from a nifty cookbook my boss gave me for my birthday. (I guess everyone I know has figured out, when in doubt a good cookbook makes the perfect gift.) The original recipe was conceived by Jeffrey Murphy of GB Ratto & Co. My modifications make this dish a little lighter while preserving the terrific flavors of the original. Because this salad is vegan, it travels very well and would make a nice addition at a picnic or potluck.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb baby red potato
2 heads garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 cup thyme leaves, stripped from the branches
1 lb asparagus, trimmed into 2 inch pieces
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 scallions, chopped (green & white parts)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Trim the top off the garlic heads leaving the rest of the bulb intact.
  • After a good cleaning, quarter the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Add the oregano, thyme, oil and stock. Now add the two garlic bulbs and toss together. Pour into a baking pan and roast for 30 minutes or until the garlic and potatoes are tender. Check about 20 minutes in and if the pan is very dry add another tablespoon or two of broth.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven and pour off any remaining liquid into a bowl. Let the potatoes and garlic cool.
  • Clean and trim the asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Steam or boil until they are cooked crisp tender (3 to 5 minutes). Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking and drain.
  • Take the roasted garlic and gently squeeze the soft cloves into the bowl of oil drained from the roasting pan. Stir to create a nice dressing. If it seems too thick, add a little more broth. The exact thickness is up to you but I like mine thicker than a vinaigrette but thinner than a mayonnaise type dressing. For me that's about 2-4 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss together the roasted potatoes, asparagus, red onion, scallions and garlic dressing.
  • Serve at room temperature.

ROASTED POTATO AND ASPARAGUS LENTIL SALAD WITH TANGY MUSTARD LEMON DRESSING



ROASTED POTATO AND ASPARAGUS LENTIL SALAD WITH TANGY MUSTARD LEMON DRESSING image

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE SALAD:
3 cup uncooked French green lentils/du Puy lentils
9 medium yellow potatoes, diced
3 bunch asparagus, ends broken off and chopped
3 medium red onions, diced
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
handful minced fresh dill, for garnish (optional)
FOR THE DRESSING:
6 tablespoons coarse seeded/old fashioned mustard
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
12 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
9-12 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
3-6 pinches fine grain sea salt or pink salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line 6 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Rinse lentils in a fine mesh sieve. Place lentils in a medium pot along with 9 cups of water. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and simmer the lentils for about 18-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain off water and season lentils with salt (such as Herbamare). 3. Place chopped potatoes on one baking sheet and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. 4. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the asparagus on the other baking sheet (and the red onion if you prefer to roast it too and drizzle with 1 1/2 tbsp. oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, flip the potatoes and return them to the oven along with the asparagus (and red onion if you are roasting that) for another 12-15 minutes. The potatoes should be golden on the bottom when ready and the asparagus will be tender. Add roasted veggies into a large bowl along with the lentils and gently toss to combine. 5. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking all of the dressing ingredients together. I love a tangy dressing with a bite so I used 12 tbsp. lemon juice. If you prefer a less acidic dressing you might want to add more olive oil or you can also experiment with adding a touch of maple syrup (the sweetness will offset a bit of the bite). It's definitely a dressing you can play around with! 6. Pour half of the dressing onto the veggies and lentils in the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad warm with a garnish of fresh dill (optional), with the rest of the dressing served on the side.

200g asparagus
½ lemon , juiced and zested
500g new potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 Little Gem lettuces , quartered
50g peas
100g soft goat's cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the bottom 2cm of the asparagus spears into thin rounds and set aside in a bowl with the lemon juice. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins until cooked through, adding the asparagus spears for the last 2 mins of cooking. Drain and steam-dry in the colander. Heat the grill to high.
  • Tip the potatoes onto a baking tray and use a spoon or fish slice to crush them a bit. Add the asparagus to the tray and toss in 1 tbsp of the olive oil, season and grill for 10-15 mins, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp and the asparagus is cooked through and a little charred. Add the lettuce for the final 5 mins until charred. Meanwhile, cook the peas, drain and add these to the lemon juice and asparagus ends. Whisk in the olive oil and season.
  • Pile the lettuce, asparagus and potatoes onto a large serving dish. Top with chunks of goat's cheese, the asparagus stalks and peas, drizzling the sauce over the rest of the vegetables as you go. Scatter with dill and lemon zest to serve.
