Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch large or jumbo asparagus (can substitute with Brussels sprouts)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ciabatta loaf, cubed (about 1 quart cubes)
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus lengthwise into strips (if using Brussel sprouts, use a knife or mandoline to shave the sprouts).
  • In a large bowl, gently toss the shaved asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Pour the asparagus mixture into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and loosely arrange a "nest." Roast until slightly browned and softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed bread and toss to coat in the olive oil. Allow the bread to toast evenly, tossing often, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the garlic to perfume the oil and bread. Remove the bread from the pan to a cutting board and roughly chop the bread pieces. Toss with the grated Parmesan and black pepper, to taste.
  • Top the asparagus with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with more grated Parmesan.

Yield Makes 4 first-course or lunch main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb medium asparagus, trimmed
2 cups shelled fresh fava beans (2 1/2 lb in pods) or shelled edamame (fresh soybeans)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lb arugula, coarse stems discarded
1 (1/2-lb) piece Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut asparagus stalks on a long diagonal into 1/8-inch-thick slices, leaving 1-inch-long tips (reserve tips separately).
  • Blanch asparagus tips (but not sliced stalks) in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes, then immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking.
  • Return water to a boil and blanch fava beans 1 minute, then immediately transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus tips and beans and gently peel skins from beans (it's not necessary to peel edamame, if using).
  • Toss beans and asparagus (blanched tips and raw sliced stalks) in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste, then divide among 4 plates. Toss arugula with remaining tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and mound on top of vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose thin asparagus spears: Thicker spears tend to be more fibrous and less tender.
  • Shave the asparagus thinly: This will help the asparagus cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A dull knife will crush the asparagus and make it difficult to shave.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the asparagus, make sure to spread it out in a single layer in the pan. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is just tender: Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Use good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Shaved asparagus with arugula and Parmesan is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be ready in just 15 minutes. The asparagus is shaved thinly and then cooked in a hot pan until it is just tender. The arugula and Parmesan cheese are added at the end and the salad is tossed to combine. The result is a flavorful and refreshing salad that is sure to please everyone at the table.
