ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES



Asparagus with Tomatoes image

This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

ASPARAGUS, MUSHROOM AND TOMATO BAKE WITH SEASONED CHEESE SAUCE



Asparagus, Mushroom and Tomato Bake With Seasoned Cheese Sauce image

Low carb and oh so good! Inspired by Gary Rhodes cheese sauce which I made in one of his recipes. The seasoning in the cheese sauce gives this dish a very unique flavor. This is a wonderful spring dish. If you are an asparagus lover as myself I hope you give it a try.

Categories     Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb asparagus, trimmed
2 portabella mushrooms, cleaned
3 -4 tomatoes, quartered
olive oil, for drizzling
sea salt
1 whole clove
1 bay leaf
1 small onion
2 cups milk, I use skimmed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 cup cream (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Cover a baking pan or cookie sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus and gently toss to coat them.
  • Put the mushrooms in the center of the pan; arrange the asparagus on both sides of the mushrooms with tips pointing in both directions on both sides of the mushrooms; reserve the tomatoes at this point.
  • Bake the mushrooms and asparagus in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Scatter the tomatoes over top of asparagus; drizzling a touch of olive oil over the top of the tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle a touch of sea salt over top of tomatoes and asparagus and bake for approximately another 10 minutes. Make sure to check your asparagus and mushrooms to desired tenderness.
  • For the sauce:
  • Pour the milk into a medium sized saucepan.
  • Make an 'ornament' with the onion, bay leaf and clove by using the clove to pierce the bay leaf and then poke the bay leaf into the onion; add your 'ornament' to the milk in the saucepan.
  • Warm the milk gently over low heat, to infuse the flavors, until it just begins to boil; cover and let rest for about 15 minutes or so while you follow the next step.
  • In another medium saucepan melt the butter over low heat; mix in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes stirring constantly.
  • Add the milk to the butter/flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time; cook and stir until all the milk has been added.
  • For a stronger flavor in your sauce you can add the onion from the milk mixture at this point.
  • Cook over low heat until thick, about 20-25 minutes; stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
  • Once the sauce has thickened remove the onion, and add salt and pepper to taste; leaving the sauce over very low heat.
  • Stir in the cream (if using) to give a silky texture to the sauce. You don't have to use it all depending on the thickness of your sauce; keeping in mind the cheese will also thicken the sauce further.
  • Add the mustard and cheese to the sauce until the cheese is melted; BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO LET BOIL!. The cheese will separate and it will not look appealing.
  • Drizzle the Cheese Sauce over top of the baked vegetables and serve.
