Best 6 Roman Style Artichoke And Asparagus Bake Recipes

ASPARAGUS-SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Spread asparagus across the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Scatter artichoke hearts on top. Place the casserole dish in the oven; this will remove some residual moisture from the vegetables as the oven heats.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place spinach and mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave until moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer spinach and mushrooms into a pot over medium heat. Add heavy cream, cream cheese, and broth. Cook and stir continuously until cream cheese melts and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder; cook until flavors meld, about 3 minutes.
• Remove casserole from the oven; pour sauce over the vegetables. Top with Cheddar cheese slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is lightly browned and edges are crumbly, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

ROMAN-STYLE ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a large bowl of cold water; add squeezed lemon halves to bowl. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, peel tough outer leaves and trim 1 inch from top. Trim fibrous green skin from heart and stem. Halve each artichoke lengthwise, scrape fuzzy choke from heart with a spoon, and transfer to lemon water.
• Drain artichokes and place, cut side up, in a wide, shallow ovenproof pot. Pour wine, oil, and water over artichokes and sprinkle with salt, red-pepper flakes, garlic, and herbs. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven, and braise until artichokes are tender, about 45 minutes. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with red-pepper flakes, and serve with pan juices.

ROMAN-STYLE ARTICHOKE AND ASPARAGUS BAKE

Steps:

• Using a little olive oil, lightly oil (or mist with oil) a large casserole dish or roasting pan. Place all of the ingredients in the prepared pan and toss well to combine. Bake the mixture at 425 degrees for 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, stir the mixture, return the pan to the oven, and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle additional soy parmesan over the top, if desired, before serving. Leftovers can be used for sandwich fillings or mixed with grains or pasta.

BAKED SCALLOPS AND SEARED TOURNEDOS WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND ASPARAGUS TIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss scallops with melted butter, garlic, shallots, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer to shallow casserole dish. Combine extra-virgin olive oil and bread crumbs. Scatter bread crumbs over scallops and place in the casserole. Bake scallops 10 to 12 minutes or until bread crumbs are deep golden and scallops are opaque.
• Heat a small skillet over medium to medium high heat. Coat pan with oil and butter and add room temperature fillet of beef steaks. Meat will sear in hot pan. Cook beef 4 minutes on each side for medium. Season meat with grill seasoning or coarse salt and pepper once meat is fully cooked so the salt will not draw out juices prematurely. Let meat rest 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. Return pan to heat and deglaze, using liquid to combine any pan drippings. Add Madeira, reduce by half, and add tarragon to the pan. Set aside.
• Steam asparagus tips in 1/4 inch boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. Return tips to warm pan and combine with drained artichoke hearts, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Heat mixture through and remove from stove.
• To serve, place steaks on buttered toast and drizzle with Madeira sauce. Gently transfer 4 baked scallops to platters and finish plates with lemon dressed artichoke hearts and asparagus tips. Edible flowers make a delicate, colorful garnish.

ESCARGOT WITH ARTICHOKES AND ASPARAGUS TIPS

Steps:

• In a heavy non-reactive casserole, warm the olive oil over low heat. Slowly cook the onion and carrot until they began to turn golden, then arrange the artichokes in the casserole in a single layer. Add the bay leaf, thyme, the 2 whole cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the wine into the casserole; add water until the artichokes are just covered. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, covered, then remove the lid, add the asparagus and reduce the cooking liquid over high heat to thicken the sauce. While waiting for the reduction, saute the snails in butter. Mince the remaining garlic cloves and mix in the basil and parsley. Off the heat, add the minced garlic mixture and snails, check for seasoning. Stir well and serve immediately. Peel the artichoke bottoms & stems, and rub each with half a lemon as you finish trimming it. Place them in cold water acidulated with the juice from the remaining lemon half. Spread the leaves of each artichoke, and use a small spoon to remove the choke; return to the lemon water.
