Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner, lunch, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup heavy cream
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc
1/4 cup crushed pecans
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 bunch fresh spring asparagus, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices, ends discarded
1/4 cup grated fontina cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
2 large endive, trimmed, and cut into diagonal slices, 1-inch wide
1/2 small head of radicchio, trimmed, and leaves torn into 1-inch pieces
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Fresh lemon juice, as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, shallots and wine. Place over medium heat and simmer until reduced by half, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Spread pecans on a baking sheet and bake, stirring once or twice, until toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place a skillet over low heat, add panko, and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. When pecans are toasted, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. When the pecans are cool, place in a blender and chop for a few seconds until coarsely ground. Mix with panko and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine asparagus, reduced cream, fontina, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Mix well and place in a gratin dish that is about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide, or an other shallow, ovenproof baking dish. Bake until asparagus are tender, the sauce is bubbling and the top is turning golden, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with pecan-bread crumb mixture. In a separate bowl, mix the endive and radicchio with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread over the top of the asparagus gratin. Serve hot.

GRATIN OF WHITE ASPARAGUS



Gratin of White Asparagus image

Provided by Skye Gyngell

Categories     Cheese     Dairy     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Vegetarian     Mother's Day     Dinner     Lunch     Casserole/Gratin     Parmesan     Asparagus     Spring     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
15 white asparagus spears
small bunch of lemon thyme, leaves only
generous 3/4 cup crème fraîche
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
3 1/2 ounces Parmesan, freshly grated
2 tbsp minced curly parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (convection oven to 425°F). Brush a copper or ceramic gratin dish with a little of the melted butter.
  • Trim the asparagus: you will find that white asparagus needs to be trimmed much higher-roughly halfway up the stalks, as a rule of thumb. Slice the spears in half lengthwise and lay them in the buttered gratin dish. Sprinkle with most of the lemon thyme leaves, saving a few for garnish.
  • Now put the crème fraîche and mustard into a heavy pan and place over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat slightly and let bubble to reduce by about a quarter. Season the reduced mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, put the bread crumbs in a bowl, add the Parmesan, parsley, and some pepper, and toss with your fingers to combine.
  • Pour the mustardy crème fraîche over the asparagus, then scatter the crumb mixture on top, distributing it evenly. Drizzle over the rest of the melted butter. Bake the gratin on the middle shelf of the oven until the top is crisp and golden and the cream bubbles up around the sides of the dish, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves and serve.

ASPARAGUS-AND-POTATO GRATIN



Asparagus-and-Potato Gratin image

Is anything better than a decadent potato gratin? Yes: a potato gratin with asparagus and prosciutto. The sweet, grassy undertones of goat cheese and sharp Pecorino Romano compliment this side-turned-dinner dish beautifully and will have the whole family asking for seconds.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from 3 large slices rustic bread)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch asparagus (about 12 ounces), trimmed
4 medium white- or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving
6 thin slices prosciutto
Chive blossoms, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss bread-crumbs with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add asparagus. Return to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add potatoes to pot; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Arrange potatoes in the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch or 2-quart baking dish (about 1 1/2 inches deep).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until it has a slightly nutty aroma, about 30 seconds. Gradually (to avoid lumps) whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Arrange prosciutto and half of asparagus on top. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with remaining asparagus, then bread-crumbs. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to baking time.) Bake until bubbling around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve, sprinkled with more Pecorino and chive blossoms.
