Pan Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and Parmesan

by Pam on February 19, 2013

This is a recipe I make often because it’s super quick, tasty, and easy to make. I also love that it pairs with so many different main course dishes. I love the garlicky flavor with the salty Parmesasn – it makes the asparagus extra special in my opinion. I served this asparagus with a delicious meatloaf (to post tomorrow) and some Creamy Mashed Potatoes^[1] for a delicious and comforting meal.

Remove the wooden ends of the asparagus spears. Swirl a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus spears in a single layer then cover with a lid and cook until the asparagus is bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes. Uncover and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Continue to cook, stirring often until the spears are fork tender yet still a bit crisp, another 1-2 minutes.

Move the spears to one side of the skillet then add the last 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to the other side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic to the olive oil, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring the garlic constantly. Toss the spears with the garlic and olive oil for 30 seconds then remove from the skillet to a serving plate. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Cherry Tomato, Asparagus, and Avocado Salad Topped with Basil and Feta

by Pam on April 10, 2013

I wanted to make a nice salad to go with the pork chops I was making for dinner. Instead of a regular salad, using lettuce, I decided to make the main components of the salad the tomatoes, asparagus, and avocado. I made a tangy vinaigrette to toss with the veggies then topped it with freshly torn basil and a sprinkling of feta cheese. This was a HUGE hit with all of us. Even my kids, who don’t care for asparagus, gobbled it up. I love that!

Side Note: I make my vinaigrettes very tangy and flavorful. If you like a more traditional vinaigrette, then add more canola or olive oil to the mixture.

Combine the canola oil, olive oil, seasoned rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, garlic, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, together in a small bowl; whisk until well combined. Set aside for the flavors to mingle.

Remove the wooden ends from the asparagus then cut them into thirds. Boil a small pot of water, add the asparagus, then cook for 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Drain from the hot water and place into a bowl of ice water for 30 seconds. Remove from the water and place on a paper towel to drain.

Add the sliced tomatoes, asparagus, and diced avocado to a large bowl. Tear basil leaves and throw into the bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, to taste (you may not need it all), then toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Serve. Enjoy.

Sauteed Asparagus with Dijon Vinaigrette

by Pam on November 5, 2012

I wanted to find a simple but different recipe for the asparagus I had in the refrigerator. I stumbled upon this recipe from Martha Stewart and decided to give it a try. I adapted it a bit by adding a little garlic and sugar to the vinaigrette. I loved the flavor the vinaigrette gave to the asparagus and it turned out really delicious. This side dish paired nicely with the Apricot-Soy Pork Chops.^[1]^[2]

Whisk together mustard, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and sugar, to taste, in a small bowl.

Heat a skillet that has been coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Add asparagus, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently, until asparagus are just tender, 5-6 minutes.

Drizzle the asparagus with the vinaigrette, toss, and serve immediately. Enjoy.
