Asparagus!

Anyone have some great tips on how to cook/flavor/prepare asparagus? I have grown to love asparagus a lot, but I'm not too sure what all I can do with it to change it up. I don't like bacon so that's not an option, and I've only really been eating it grilled with EVOO.

I drizzle them in olive oil and lemon juice, then grill them for 3 minutes on the georgie. Delicious!0 -
I just steam it. I sometimes spray I can't believe it's not butter on it.0

First... WHAT DO YOU MEAN - you don't like bacon??!!
I would have sugested grilling - I use some cajun spices or Mrs. Dash - and it's been the best by far. I like it just steamed too - but it takes on an entirely new texture when you do that.0 -
We LOVE it grilled too! Just with EVOO and a sprinkle of Paula Dean's Silly Salt.....yummo!!!!0
-
I second the George Foreman grill. Six minutes and you've got a meal!
A lot of times I'll take an egg, mix it with a couple tablespoons of parmesan cheese and a dash of black pepper, and dip the asparagus in that mixture before putting it on the grill.0 -
Asparagus under hollandaise or bernaise sauce, on top of a steak.

mmmm yum! I'm definitely going to have to try this!0 -
I actually like it raw, but when I do prepare it.. usually broiled with a little olive oil and whatever seasonings I'm in the mood for.0

sounds good!

I love it in a creamy soup. Cooked in chicken or vegetable stock with lots of onions, garlic, sage and thyme, then buzz it with the hand mixer and add a tiny bit of sour cream or cream cheese to make it luscious 0

You're already doing it right.0 -
2-3 minutes under the broiler with EVOO, salt & pepper, then a squeeze of lemon after it comes out...fast and easy, and leaves plenty of life in the asparagus. (I hate squishy vegetables.)0
-
I love it topped with EVOO and Balsamic, wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed on the grill 0

tasteofhome.com has a whole bunch of recipes.
you need to create an account to see some of the recipes but it's free and it's worth it.
I've been sauteing it with fresh garlic.
Doesn't always taste the best reheated though.
Or steaming it and putting Parmesan cheese on it.0 -
I absolutely love asparagus, I think I'll have some for dinner tonight. I've never had it grilled, guess I'll be getting a George Foreman grill soon!0

That is my favorite way. But I have sauteed it with eggs.Anyone have some great tips on how to cook/flavor/prepare asparagus?

try the barefoot contessa's roasted asparagus in the oven. Toss with EVOO, Kosher salt and pepper. Then roast at 425 degrees for about 20- 30 minutes, toss every 10 minutes. it will be toasty and nutty on the outside, tender on the inside. so delicious!0

Just what I was going to say!
I love asparagus with hollandaise. I make mine with local awesome eggs and fresh local natural butter.
H.E.A.V.E.N.L.Y.
Grilled rocks too. I'll do some parboiled/blanched then toss it in some yummy pasta with EVOO, butter, garlic and fresh shrimp. Or in a curry...Or in a risotto...oh the choices!
Crap. I'm hungry now.0 -
Love it blanched, served with a knob of butter0
-
Ok, what is EVOO?0
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Put tin foil on cookie sheet with a clean thin layer of olive oil
Put clean asparagus on tin foil add a sqeeze of lemon
Let it cook for about 15 minutes.
Its so simple but the most delish aspargagus ever.
**this is for people who like their veggie crunchy***0 -

extra virgin olive oil0 -
As a meal take a small chicken breast with a slice of cheese. Wrap the asparagus and cheese inside the chicken breast. Season to taste and bake. you have a small meal with your veggie.
