SUNNY'S BEER BATTERED MOROCCAN ASPARAGUS WITH DIP
Provided by Sunny Anderson
Categories appetizer
Time 35m
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Add 1 cup of the flour to each baking dish. Set one aside for your dredging station. In the other add the spice blend, lemon zest and a nice pinch of salt, and whisk. Slowly stir in the beer until the batter thickens to a pancake consistency. If there is a sip of beer leftover, don't waste it, drink it! Rest the batter for 5 minutes.
- Fill a large pot 3- to 4-inches deep with oil and heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F. To fry, first dredge the asparagus in the flour, then shake off lightly and run through the batter. Immediately and gently lower the asparagus into the oil. Fry until the batter is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cook in batches to avoid overloading the pot, which reduces the overall temperature of the oil. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat for the remaining asparagus. Serve warm with the chilled Moroccan Spice Dip.
- In a medium bowl stir together the mayonnaise, onion pulp, parsley, sour cream, lemon juice and spice blend. Taste the dip and season with a pinch of salt, if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a large pan over medium heat (I use my big soup pot so I can fit all the spinach in at once). Saute the garlic in the oil for about a minute or until fragrant.
- Add the asparagus and water, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-high and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green.
- Add the spinach (in batches if necessary, covering the pan and letting the leaves wilt so there's room for more). Once all the spinach has wilted (about 3 minutes), cook uncovered for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the cashew, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor, and blend until cashews are small, coarse crumbs. Scrape down the sides to make sure you get everything.
- When the spinach is cooked, add the veggies to the food processor, making sure to include all the garlic and any remaining liquid. Puree until relatively smooth. Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
- Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for a few hours. Serve with crackers, pretzel sticks, crudites, bread, etc. The sky's the limit. I think it would even make a good sauce for pasta.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest asparagus possible. Fresh asparagus should be bright green and snap easily when bent.
- Trim the asparagus spears before cooking. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your dip. This will give the dip a richer flavor.
- Add some herbs or spices to your dip for extra flavor. Garlic, onion, and paprika are all good choices.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Crackers, bread, and vegetables are all good options.
Conclusion:
Asparagus dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is also a healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, asparagus dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give asparagus dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
