ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTERED ALMONDS, CAPERS AND DILL



Roasted Asparagus With Buttered Almonds, Capers and Dill image

Cooking asparagus is one of the easiest kitchen tasks around. There is almost no preparation, the asparagus is roasted plain in the oven, and all that's left to do is fry some almonds and capers to spoon on top. This can be served as part of a festive spread of salads and seasonal dips. It also works well as a side for meat, fish or grain dishes.

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 pounds/600 grams asparagus, woody ends trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter
Scant 1/4 cup/20 grams sliced (flaked) almonds
3 tablespoons/30 grams baby capers, patted dry on paper towels (kitchen paper)
1/4 to 1/2 cup/5 to 10 grams roughly chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet (baking tray) with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl or on a work surface, use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Arrange asparagus in the paper-lined pan, spaced well apart, and roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until asparagus is soft and starting to brown in places, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan.
  • In a small or medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy. Add almonds and fry, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching). Pour almonds and butter evenly over asparagus.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the capers and fry, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove capers from the oil and sprinkle over the asparagus. Add dill. Using tongs or two spoons, mix gently to combine, transfer to a large plate and serve warm.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY LEEKS AND CAPERS



Roasted Asparagus With Crispy Leeks and Capers image

In this supremely springy recipe, thick asparagus stalks and thinly sliced leeks are glossed with olive oil and covered in salty capers. Everything is roasted in the same pan and emerges tender and golden-edged. Capers also make an appearance in the mustard sauce served alongside, which adds a tangy, mayonnaise-like richness. You can double the recipe, if you wish, though you may have to increase the roasting time by a few minutes to make up for a more-crowded pan. Serve this on its own as a first course, or as an accompaniment to roast chicken, braised meats or seared fish. Just don't use thin asparagus: It'll cook too quickly, before the leeks have a chance to turn golden. Stick with spears that are at least 1/2 inch in diameter.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound thick asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 large leek, white and light green parts, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons drained capers
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/4 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, torn
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons drained capers, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put asparagus on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated.
  • In a small bowl, stir together leeks, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle leeks on top of asparagus, then sprinkle with capers. Roast until asparagus are tender and golden brown, about 12 to 18 minutes.
  • While the asparagus stalks roast, make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, capers and garlic. Slowly whisk in olive oil a few drops at a time to create a thick, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once asparagus stalks are out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over it and sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with mustard sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

ASPARAGUS WITH ANCHOVIES AND CAPERS



Asparagus With Anchovies and Capers image

This is a common springtime dish in Italy and in a neighboring region of Croatia, Istria, where it's made with wild asparagus that is thinner than a pencil. If you can find thin spears at your farmers' market, use them. The recipe is inspired by a dish in Carol Field's "Italy in Small Bites."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, weekday, side dish

Time 50m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 to 2 garlic cloves to taste, peeled, halved, green shoot removed
3 anchovy fillets, rinsed
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 pound asparagus, preferably thin stalks, trimmed

Steps:

  • Place the garlic, anchovy fillets and capers in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender (do not brown), three to five minutes. Stir in the garlic and anchovy paste, and cook, stirring, for another minute. Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice, mint, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 to 30 minutes or longer. The flavors will mellow.
  • Steam the asparagus for three to five minutes until just tender. Remove to a platter or a wide bowl, and add the remaining olive oil and the onion mixture. Toss gently and serve.

The recipe, from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi, is quickly prepared. Bread may be needed to sop up the rest of the salsa. (If caprino fresco isn't available, try another soft goat cheese, like chèvre.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 25m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 bunches asparagus, approximately 1 pound, woody ends trimmed and discarded
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 cup capers, ideally small, drained, rinsed and patted dry
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, peeled, crushed and minced
1/3 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup crumbled caprino fresco cheese, or another soft goat cheese like chèvre

Steps:

  • Fill a medium-size pot with cold water, and place it over high heat. When the water boils, add the asparagus, and blanch for 1 minute. Drain the asparagus, and rinse it immediately under cold water. Drain the asparagus again and place in a medium bowl, with 1 tablespoon of the oil, a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix gently, and set aside.
  • Light a charcoal or gas grill, or place a grill pan on the stove over high heat. Once it is hot, add the asparagus in batches, and grill for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, turning a few times, until the spears are lightly charred. Transfer to a large platter with all the tips facing in one direction.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix together the capers with the remaining tablespoon of oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Add the goat cheese to the mixture, stir gently and spoon over the asparagus.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Roasted Asparagus image

Roast asparagus this way and it becomes positively juicy. You'd think one pound would be enough for four people, but in my experience the thick stalks - the best kind to use - are really irresistible. Err on the side of extravagance, and polish up any leftovers for lunch the next day.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds thick asparagus, woody ends snapped off
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a baking sheet or a baking dish large enough to hold the asparagus in one layer. Place the asparagus in the dish, and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the stalks begin to shrivel and color lightly.
  • Remove from the heat, toss with the thyme and season with lemon juice if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will roast more evenly and have a more tender texture.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Toss the asparagus with olive oil and seasonings: This will help the asparagus to roast evenly and develop a nice flavor.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly crispy texture.
  • Add capers and lemon juice after roasting: This will add a bright, briny flavor to the asparagus.
  • Serve the asparagus warm: Roasted asparagus is best enjoyed warm, so serve it immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus with capers is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. The asparagus is roasted until tender and slightly crispy, and the capers and lemon juice add a bright, briny flavor. This dish is a great way to enjoy fresh asparagus in season.
