Best Rosemary Steamed Asparagus Recipes

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY PORK TENDERLOIN WITH AN ORANGE JUICE REDUCTION, SWEET POTATO PUREE AND STEAMED ASPARAGUS WITH JULIENNE ROASTED RED PEPPER

Steps:

• Season the pork tenderloin on both sides with rosemary, tarragon, salt and pepper. In a large pan, add chicken stock, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Allow the stock to simmer over medium heat. Cut the seasoned, raw pork into medallions and then place them into the simmering stock. Cook the meat until the medallions are medium rare. Remove from the pan.
• In the final presentation, place the potato puree in the middle of the plate with the asparagus above it. Lay the pork against the puree and the orange juice sauce below the pork. Garnish with the red pepper strips.
• Place the pumpkin pie filling and sweet potatoes into a food processor. Add honey, tarragon, and salt and pepper to the food processor and blend into the potato mixture.
• In a large pot, bring just enough water to cover the asparagus to a boil. Add the asparagus to boiling water and blanch the stalks until they are al dente. Heat a medium saute pan and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add the blanched asparagus to the pan and saute with shallots and garlic. Cook until the asparagus spears are tender.
• Pour the entire can of frozen orange juice into a medium saucepan and heat the juice over medium heat. Reduce the liquid by 1/2. Add freshly chopped tarragon to the orange juice reduction and stir well.
• Over an open flame, roast the entire red pepper until the skin blackens. Once the entire pepper is blackened, wrap it in plastic wrap. Allow it to stand in the wrap for approximately 10 minutes. Remove the pepper from the wrap and wipe away the black skin. Julienne the pepper and use, as garnish, on the plate.

ROSEMARY STEAMED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Put the water or broth, rosemary, lemon juice, and ¼ tsp salt in the bottom of a pot.
• Add a steaming basket and put the asparagus into the basket.
• Heat to boiling over high heat, reduce heat to medium and steam to desired tenderness.
• Season with salt and pepper if desired.

DR. JUNGER'S ROASTED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND STEAMED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Directions Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. You may also peel off about 1 inch of the tough green fibrous sheath from the base of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler. Put 1 inch of purified water and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place asparagus in the pan and steam for about 3 minutes, until tender but not soft (al dente). Drain and set aside. Make a paste of the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Brush the lamb chops with the paste. Using high heat, grill, sauté, or broil the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and allow to rest. Place asparagus on a plate and arrange the lamb chops. For a delicious additional flavor note, roast some garlic cloves in a small oven-proof dish at 350˚F for 30 minutes and serve with lamb chops.

STEAMED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil with at least 2 inches to spare on each end and enough room on the sides to fold over entire fish. 2. In a medium bowl, combine capers, onion, tomato, and garlic. Spoon over salmon. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with asparagus spears and rosemary sprigs. Dot with butter. 3. Wrap foil securely around salmon with edges at the top. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Be careful when opening the foil package; the escaping steam will be quite hot. Serve with lemon wedges.
