Chopped chives or scallions, optional garnish

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus image

While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

THE BEST BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES



The BEST Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles image

Seriously... there are none better than these. I took the skeleton of a recipe and made it my own. Full of flavour! Make your dinner guests DREAM of this dish. If you don't think these are the greatest asparagus/bacon bundles after making them... then I just don't know what to think! ;)

Provided by Sunny Castaneda

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch fresh asparagus
1 pt chicken stock (homemade is best)
6-8 slice bacon (i like thick peppered bacon)
FLAVOURED OIL
2-3 Tbsp canola oil
garlic powder
onion powder
seasoned salt
black pepper
crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Spray the top portion of a broiling pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • 2. Add chicken stock and some salt to a saute pan. Place on stove top on medium heat. Bring to light boil. (I also add garlic powder here because I really like garlic, but that's optional.)
  • 3. Meanwhile, wash asparagus bundle and while rubber bands are still on, cut off the bottom couple of inches of the stalks. (These can be tough and difficult to eat.) Remove rubber bands.
  • 4. When stock is lightly boiling, drop the stalks in, all facing the same direction. Reduce heat to simmer the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes. (Do not overcook. If the asparagus starts to lose too much green colour, take them out.)
  • 5. While asparagus cooks, in a baking dish or bowl, combine the flavoured oil ingredients. (I didn't add measurements for the seasoning as each cook is different and prefers more or less of each thing. I always add LOTS of the red and black pepper which compliments the bacon well.)
  • 6. Transfer stalks from pan to dish with flavoured oil. Toss stalks to thoroughly coat each one. Allow asparagus to cool in the oil for at least 5 minutes. [Save your stock if you want. I do and the veggie flavour adds a whole new element to it. (I use it to cook rice in.)]
  • 7. Divide the stalks evenly. A good bundle is about 6-7 stalks. Count your stalks and divide them. (If you have an extra or two... no harm in tasting them. No one will ever know! We wouldn't want uneven bundles!) Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around a bundle about three times. Tuck the ends in so the bacon doesn't unfurl while cooking. (Do not overlap the bacon TOO much. A little is fine. Refer to pictures.)
  • 8. Arrange bundles on the broiler pan with some space between each one. Place in the oven and cook 15-20 mins or until bacon is cooked on top. Cooking time will depend on thickness of bacon. (Sometimes, I finish them up with the broiler on for a couple mins.) If the tips of the asparagus are looking too done, take them out.
  • 9. Allow to cool no more than 5 mins. They get cold fast if you're not careful. Serve as a side dish or appetizer. ENJOY!

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH TOMATOES AND TALEGGIO CHEESE



Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Spears with Tomatoes and Taleggio Cheese image

Mike came up with this recipe during the first dinner we cooked together in our brand-new apartment! We were inspired by a similar dish we've had at an Italian restaurant, but used it as a side dish instead of an antipasti plate, and substituted the prosciutto with bacon. The cheese, a relatively mild cow's milk cheese, should be relatively easy to find because of its increasing popularity. Super easy to make, and super tasty!

Provided by MikeAndKim

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir asparagus and grape tomatoes into the garlic and drizzle with lemon juice. Continue to cook and stir until asparagus are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Wrap 3 asparagus spears with 1 slice of bacon. Repeat with remaining asparagus and bacon, making 4 bundles. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet.
  • Scatter cooked grape tomatoes around the wrapped asparagus.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then scatter Taleggio cheese atop asparagus; return baking sheet to the oven.
  • Continue baking until bacon is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more.

ROASTED BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS AND RED PEPPER BUNDLES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Roasted Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus and Red Pepper Bundles Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by ahensnest

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb fresh young asparagus stalks
1 large red sweet pepper
1 lb hickory smoked bacon
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground sea salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Rinse asparagus and trim bottom ½" from stalks. Cut red pepper into 8 slices, lengthwise. Separate asparagus spears into bundles of two to three, place one pepper slice onto each. Starting from bottom, wrap a piece of bacon tightly around spears and pepper, ending about halfway, add another slice and continue wrapping, leaving tip of spears visible. Repeat with remaining bundles. Place on parchment lined sheet, so they are not touching. Drizzle olive oil over bundles and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste. Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes, then turn on broiler and broil for 5, or until bacon is as crisp as you like. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispier asparagus, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before wrapping it in bacon.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial wrap.
  • To prevent the bacon from burning, cook the asparagus bundles over indirect heat or in a preheated oven.
  • Baste the asparagus bundles with melted butter or olive oil during cooking to keep them moist.
  • Sprinkle the asparagus bundles with salt, pepper, or other seasonings before serving.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
