PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can use a sharp knife or a kitchen shears.
  • Blanch the asparagus. This will help to tenderize the asparagus and preserve its bright green color. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus 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. This will stop the cooking process and help the asparagus to retain its crispness.
  • Dry the asparagus. Before frying the asparagus, make sure it is completely dry. You can pat it dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner.
  • Use a light coating of flour. This will help the asparagus to brown evenly. Dip the asparagus in flour and shake off any excess.
  • Fry the asparagus in hot oil. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the asparagus is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served hot and crispy. You can serve it with a variety of dipping sauces, such as Caesar dressing, hollandaise sauce, or lemon butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Fried asparagus with Caesar dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The asparagus is tender and crispy, and the Caesar dressing adds a creamy and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
