Asparagus with Lemon Butter Sauce

 

Ingredients

Water

Salt

2 lbs asparagus (trimmed)

3 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons low sodium vegetable

broth

1 teaspoon white vinegar

3 tablespoons heavy cream

1 teaspoon sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Parmesan cheese

Chopped parsley

Lemon zest

Directions

For the Asparagus

  1. Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of salted water and bring to a boil.

  2. Add asparagus to the boiling water; cover with a lid and let it steam until it's cooked to your liking, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus.

  3. Drain. Transfer asparagus to a large bowl of ice water to cool, and drain again.

 

In the meantime, prepare the LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

  1. In a saucepan combine lemon juice, vegetable broth, and white vinegar. Cooking over medium heat, reduce the sauce by half.

  2. Turn heat down to a simmer and whisk in the cream; keep whisking to break up the curds.

  3. Add sugar and continue to whisk while adding the pats of butter, letting each pat melt into the sauce before you add the next.

  4. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken.

  6. Remove from heat and let stand couple of minutes. Sauce will thicken as it stands.

  7. Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.

  8. Transfer cooked asparagus to a serving plate.

  9. Serve the lemon butter sauce by drizzling over the asparagus or on the side.

Asparagus with Tomato-Walnut Pesto

 

Ingredients

1/3 cup walnut halves

2 pints grape tomatoes

Salt

Pepper

1 garlic clove

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 lbs asparagus

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

  2. Heat a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the walnuts and shake to spread them out in a single layer. Toast for 2 minutes then stir. Repeat a few times for a total of 6-10 minutes, until the walnuts are fragrant and starting to brown a bit. Remove from the heat and transfer immediately to a food processor.

  3. When the oven is heated, place the grape tomatoes on your prepared baking sheet. Spray them lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle them with about ½ tsp kosher salt, tossing to coat. Roast the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes. Pull the sheet pan out and give them a gentle stir with a wooden spoon. Continue roasting for 5-10 minutes more until the tomatoes look a bit blistered & charred. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Meanwhile, grate the garlic into the food processor with the toasted walnuts. Pulse several times to puree and combine. Add in the olive oil, vinegar, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes and half of the roasted tomatoes. Pulse this all together, stopping to scrape the sides once or twice, until it reaches a thick pesto consistency. Season with salt (about ½ tsp or less or more to taste) and more red pepper flakes to taste.

  5. Heat ½ TBSP of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of the asparagus stalks and toss quickly. Spread them out in a single layer and let them cook for 2 minutes without touching them so that they get a bit charred. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly now, until they're tender. Season very lightly with salt and toss well. Transfer to a platter and repeat the charring/ cooking process with the remaining ½ TBSP vegetable oil and asparagus.

  6. Toss beans with pesto (use whatever amount of pesto you like). Top with the remaining roasted tomatoes and serve!

Anchor 2

Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Lemon Dip

 

Ingredients

18 medium Brussels sprouts (about 1 1/2

pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12-ounce package center-cut bacon (about 18 strips)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus 1/2 cup more for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Zest of 1/2 lemon, plus 2 teaspoons juice
Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, and halve lengthwise. Put them in a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.

  2. Lay the bacon strips next to each other on a work surface. Brush liberally with about 1/2 the maple syrup, then halve crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout half with 1 strip of bacon, syrup-side out, so the seam is on the flat side. Place the sprouts seam-side down on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Brush them with a bit more syrup, and grind a little black pepper on top. Roast, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, most of the lemon zest and all the lemon juice in a small serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top. Put about 1/2 cup maple syrup in a second small serving dish, and stir in as much black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes as you like.

  4. Transfer the sprouts to a platter, and serve with the lemon mayonnaise and peppered maple syrup, for dipping.

Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts

 

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs brussel sprouts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup balsamic reductio or glaze

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

  2. Add the brussels sprouts to the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss with your hands to evenly coat. Arrange the sprouts with the cut-side (flat side) down and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the tops of some of the sprouts are turning light brown.

  3. Remove baking sheet from oven, flip sprouts over with a tongs, and evenly drizzle with balsamic and evenly sprinkle with brown sugar. You only need to put a tiny pinch of sugar on the top of each sprout. It helps with caramelization and takes the edge off the intensity of the balsamic and doesn't make them taste sweet, but if you're adverse to adding sugar, it can be omitted.

  4. Return baking sheet to oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until sprouts are as caramelized and browned as desired. Baking times will vary based on the size of the sprouts used, personal preference for doneness, oven and climate variances, etc. Keep a close eye on them in the last 10 minutes of baking because they can go from underdone to overdone and burnt in just a couple minutes. Optionally garnish with cheese.
