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.

Provided by Jonathan Wu

Categories     Bon Appétit     Asparagus     Vinegar     New York     Shallot     Soy Sauce     Cornmeal     Bacon

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup black vinegar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
2 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1x1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine-grind cornmeal
Kosher salt
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 tablespoon white soy sauce
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Combine both vinegars in a medium bowl. Add shallots and let sit, tossing occasionally, 1 hour. Drain and pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of fat is rendered and bacon begins to brown, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Pour off fat; reserve for another use (scrambled eggs!). Wipe out skillet; reserve.
  • Fit a medium pot with thermometer and pour in oil to come 2" up sides of pot. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 300°F. Whisk flour and cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dredge shallots in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry, tossing occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
  • Heat reserved skillet over medium-high. Swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in pan to coat (this keeps food from sticking); pour out excess. The oil should be shimmering-if it's not hot enough, the asparagus will steam not caramelize. Add asparagus, season with salt, and cook, tossing, until almost cooked through, about 1 minute. Add bacon and 1 Tbsp. water; cook, tossing, until asparagus is cooked through, about 30 seconds. Add soy sauce; toss to coat. Serve topped with shallots.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the tomato-shallot confit. While the asparagus is blanching, you can make the tomato-shallot confit. To make the confit, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they are softened. Add the tomatoes, garlic, and thyme and cook until the tomatoes are soft and juicy. Season the confit with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the dish. To assemble the dish, arrange the asparagus spears on a serving platter. Top the asparagus with the tomato-shallot confit and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with Tomato-Shallot Confit is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a spring or summer meal. The asparagus is blanched to preserve its color and crispness, and the tomato-shallot confit adds a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
