ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES



Asparagus with Tomatoes image

This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

BLACK PEPPER STIR-FRIED TOFU AND ASPARAGUS



Black Pepper Stir-Fried Tofu and Asparagus image

This fast, one-skillet stir-fry dinner combines vibrant spring vegetables with hearty tofu in a rich and spicy black-pepper sauce. (Use freshly ground pepper, if possible, for the ideal combination of flavor and heat.) The tofu is simmered in the fragrant sauce, which is spiked with aromatic garlic and ginger until it has absorbed all of the flavors and is nicely glazed. This recipe is perfect for using up that pencil-thin asparagus, which cooks quickly and toes the line between crisp and tender, while sweet snap peas balance out the assertive sauce. The dish can be served over baby spinach or in lettuce cups instead of with rice for a satisfying salad.

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons turbinado or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or a vegan alternative
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 pound firm tofu, cut into ½-inch cubes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 pound pencil-thin asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut into thirds
4 ounces snap peas, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Steamed short-grain brown or white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2 tablespoons of water. In a large nonstick skillet, combine tofu and half of the black pepper sauce, and season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and nicely coats the tofu, about 5 minutes. Slide glazed tofu and any sauce out onto a rimmed plate.
  • Wipe or rinse out the skillet and heat oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add asparagus and snap peas, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallions, the remaining black pepper sauce and the tofu, and cook, stirring, until vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Stir in cilantro, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide tofu and vegetables among plates and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it for just a few minutes, until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to asparagus, you can add other vegetables to this dish, such as tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Season the dish well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the dish, such as curry powder, cumin, and garlic.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Sautéed asparagus with curried tofu and tomatoes is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve it with rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
