Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 hoagie rolls
6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
1 ripe tomato, sliced
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place 4 to 5 asparagus spears and a few strips of pepper on one side. Place slices of tomato on the other side of the roll. Place the hoagies back in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic together. Spread the dressing on one side of the roll and close sandwich.

AWESOME ASPARAGUS

I love this recipe because it is simple, quick and tasty. The asparagus is tender/crisp. WE have also used feta cheese either with or without the parm cheese to twist the flavor a little- great! Since we are on a low carb diet this recipe really brightens up our menu.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bunch asparagus, trimed, tied 6-8 spears each
1 c pecorino or parmesan cheese, grated
1 lemon, juiced
extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
4 large eggs, poached
fresh mint, chopped - for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Make the sauce. Whisk the lemon juice into the grated cheese and drizzle in enough olive oil to make a creamy dressing, set aside.
  • 2. Poach four eggs.
  • 3. Meanwhile, cook the asparagus bundles in boiling salted water until just tender (3 to 4 minutes).
  • 4. Remove the string and place an asparagus bundle on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with the cheese sauce. Place a poached egg on top of each asparagus bundle. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint and drizzle the plate with some additional olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including steaming, roasting, grilling, and sautéing. Be careful not to overcook it, as this will make it mushy.
  • Season the asparagus well: Asparagus has a mild flavor, so it can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Whether you are roasting it in the oven, grilling it on the barbecue, or sautéing it in a pan, asparagus is sure to please everyone at the table.
