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.

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.

Asparagus is at its flavorful best for only a short time, usually between March and May, when you'll want to avail yourself of its abundance.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), trimmed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
Pinch of sugar
Freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, and the asparagus. Return to a boil, and cook until asparagus are bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath to cool. Drain well, pat dry, and transfer to a serving platter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil. Add lemon zest and tarragon; whisk to combine. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Drizzle over asparagus. Serve immediately, or let stand at room temperature for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus (about 30 large)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 lemons cut in wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • If the stalks of the asparagus are thick, peel the bottom 1/2 of each. Lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Opt for younger, thinner asparagus stalks as they are more tender, flavorful, and easier to cook.
  • Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off any woody ends.
  • Depending on the thickness of the asparagus, blanch them for 2-3 minutes in boiling water or roast them in a hot oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use a microplane or fine grater to create a light and fluffy Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese topping.
  • For added flavor, try grilling or roasting the asparagus before tossing it with the vinaigrette.
