CREAMED ASPARAGUS



Creamed Asparagus image

I made this last Easter instead of creamed spinach to accompany our leg of lamb dinner. It was a major hit, so I'll be making it again this year.

Provided by JoAnn Cambareri

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound asparagus spears
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup beef broth
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse asparagus under cool water to remove any grit. Snap off the bottom inch or so using your fingers; the stems will naturally break where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins. Remove the ends. Dry the spears by rolling them between two kitchen towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, beef broth, and garlic powder. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese, yogurt, nutmeg, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as this will make it mushy.
  • Make the creamed sauce ahead of time. The creamed sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish.
  • Use a good quality sourdough bread. The sourdough bread will add a nice tangy flavor to the dish. If you don't have sourdough bread, you can use another type of bread, such as French bread or ciabatta.

Conclusion:

Creamed asparagus on toasted sourdough is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy sauce and tender asparagus are a perfect match for the crispy sourdough bread. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
