This comforting gratin is ready in less than 30 minutes. Feel free to use the thin asparagus, as noted in the recipe, or use thick asparagus, trimmed and peeled, as in the video. Or, just use the Parmesan breadcrumb topping on another favorite vegetable. It's a welcome and perfectly crisp addition to just about any meat or vegetable.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 thick slice good bread
1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano, about 1 ounce
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, more or less
3 tablespoons butter, extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
  • Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
  • Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
  • Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Side dish, Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

600g medium-length asparagus
75g butter
½ lemon , zested and juiced
30g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, grated

Steps:

  • Trim about two thirds of the asparagus to get rid of any woody ends, then set aside. Peel the remaining into ribbons using a vegetable peeler and tip into a bowl.
  • Gently heat the butter, lemon zest and juice and lots of black pepper in a small saucepan. Stir in half the parmesan and keep warm.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the trimmed asparagus for about 2 mins until just cooked. Drain and tip into the bowl with the asparagus ribbons. Toss everything with the buttery sauce and the remaining parmesan. Season to taste, then serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
  • Cook the asparagus evenly: To ensure that the asparagus is cooked evenly, use a large skillet or saucepan. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the asparagus will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked asparagus will lose its flavor and nutrients.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the puddings. Use a freshly grated Parmesan cheese that is at least 6 months old.
  • Serve the puddings immediately: Asparagus and Parmesan puddings are best served immediately after they are made. The puddings will deflate as they cool, so do not make them ahead of time.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and Parmesan puddings are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The puddings are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. You can adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese, add other herbs or spices, or even use different vegetables. No matter how you choose to make them, asparagus and Parmesan puddings are sure to impress your guests.
