Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette

by Pam on May 13, 2013

We had friends bringing us fresh razor clams and trout they freshly caught on Sunday. We made a huge clam^[1] & trout feast along with a beautiful salad topped with this maple-mustard vinaigrette and fresh bread. I really loved how sweet and tangy this vinaigrette was. It paired great with the salad I served and was a big hit with everyone.

Whisk together the canola oil, olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, until well combined. Taste and re-season if needed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for flavors to mingle. Whisk well before drizzling on top of your salad. Enjoy.

Maple Dijon Asparagus

by Pam on January 22, 2014

I wanted a light but flavorful side dish to pair with the Crispy Roasted Mustard and Thyme Chicken Drumsticks^[1] and the Creamy Mashed Potatoes^[2] I was serving for dinner. I found this wonderful recipe at Food, Faith, and Fitness^[3] that sounded amazing. I loved the combination of flavors in this recipe. It was such a quick and easy recipe to make and paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. My kids actually thought it was pretty tasty too – which is a great thing when it comes to asparagus! My husband and I both loved it.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from the water and plunge into ice water immediately.

Combine the maple syrup, olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic together; mix well.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Add the asparagus spears to the skillet along with the maple syrup mixture. Toss to coat evenly and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Simple Asparagus Tart – Sorry, Mom!

I don’t often buy puff pastry to make asparagus tarts, but when I find a piece in the back of the freezer, it’s one of my all-time favorite things to do. My only real regret with this video, was not finishing it with a poached egg, and calling it a Mother’s Day brunch special. As great as this was, it would have been even more so accessorized with a runny egg.

As long as you’re pretty good at making rectangles, and trimming things to the right length, this recipe is a breeze. By the way, I’ll give the specific ingredient amounts I used here, but this really depends on how much asparagus you have, and how long you want your tart to be.

The width of your tart is always going to be a little wider than the asparagus are long, as you see above; but the length is up to you, and you can use as many spears as will fit across your pan. If you’re not quite clear on what I’m saying, simply Google “asparagus tart” and you’ll see what I mean. They’re like snowflakes.

While we got a surprisingly positive response on our raw asparagus salad recipe (I really should have more faith in you), I did want to do a more classic, hot preparation as well. Asparagus is bountiful and beautiful right now, and I really hope you pick some up, possibly along with some eggs, and give this a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

6 x 9 inch rectangle of puff pasty, thawed

6 asparagus spears, blanched in well-salted wated

2 tsp melted butter

grated Parmigiano-Reggiano as needed

For the mustard sauce:

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 1/2 tsp crème fraiche

freshly ground black pepper and cayenne to taste
– Bake puff pastry shell at 400 F. for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and golden-brown.
– Fill and bake another 10-12 minutes or until the pastry is browned and asparagus are tender (but not mushy!).
