Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
14 ounces of asparagus
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons onion (minced)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Boil a pot of water. While it's heating to boiling, clean up the end of the asparagus (I cut them off) and then boil them for 3 minutes.
  • Drain them and put them in a cold water bath.
  • In a blender, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, onion and softened cream cheese together until blended.
  • Add the asparagus and pulse a few times to mix that in. We actually really blended it in, just because I love the green color.
  • Put the asparagus dip into a heat proof dish and sprinkle with some more Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

MISO-TAHINI DIP



Miso-Tahini Dip image

This creamy (yet dairy-free) dip uses two ingredient powerhouses that are rarely combined: umami-rich miso and nutty tahini paste. Rounded out with a little garlic, lemon juice, and sesame oil, the result is a deliciously addictive dip that is guaranteed to get a lot of play at a party. Serve it alongside a mild vegetable for dipping, like these lightly blanched asparagus stalks.
