GARLIC ASPARAGUS AND GREEN BEANS
This recipe could not be easier. It's ready in minutes and is good hot, room temp or cold. If you like your green beans a little more tender you need to put them in the pan first to give them a little more cooking time. I make this when I have the ingredients fresh in the garden and the flavors are so bright and simple.You can add baby carrots too if you have them.

SIMPLE SPICY ASPARAGUS IN A WOK
Asparagus doesn't have to be treated as a delicate, fragile thing, napped only with butter or creamy sauces, or served plain with olive oil and salt. That's fine for the first week or two of the season, but then it's time to dial up the interest factor and add some spice. Asparagus actually stands up quite well to aggressive flavors. A quick toss in a hot wok with garlic, ginger and chiles doesn't overwhelm it at all, at least if you don't overcook the spears. Instead, the vegetable's sweetness becomes accentuated by contrast.

Steps:
- Snap off and discard bottoms of asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces (halve thicker pieces lengthwise first).
- Set wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Add dried peppers and let sizzle, then add asparagus, tossing well to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add chile paste, garlic, ginger, orange zest and jalapeño. Continue cooking over high heat for a minute, maybe less, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue cooking off the heat.)
- Mound asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle cilantro, green onion and sesame seeds over the top.

SPICY WHITE BEAN STEW WITH BROCCOLI RABE
Not quite a fridge clean-out situation, this extremely flexible stew can use up much of what you've got on hand. It's vegetarian by nature, but feel free to start the pot with sausage, slab bacon or leftover ham if you're feeling more omnivorous. If you can't find harissa, use tomato paste and a pinch of red-pepper flakes for spiciness.

Steps:
- Tear broccoli rabe or kale leaves into bite-size pieces and set aside. Chop the stems into about 1/4-inch pieces; set aside.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and sizzled at the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add harissa (or tomato paste and a pinch of red-pepper flakes), and stir to coat in the oil. Cook until the harissa is a nice brick red color, the sugars start to caramelize and the oil turns a nice vibrant fiery orange color, about 2 minutes.
- Add beans, and season with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, crush a few beans to release their creamy interior.
- Add the broth and reserved stems, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until you've reached your desired consistency (less time for a brothier soup, more time for a thicker stew), 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add broccoli rabe or kale leaves and preserved lemon or lemon juice, and stir to wilt the greens. Season with salt, pepper and more red-pepper flakes if you want it spicier.
- Serve with feta and parsley, and with eggs, if you like.

QUICK-PICKLED SPICY ASPARAGUS
I love pickled asparagus but got tired of spending so much money on tiny little jars and decided to pickle my own. I also like it spicy but feel free to halve the crushed red pepper or omit it altogether if spice is not your thing.

SPICY ASPARAGUS OR GREEN BEANS
You can also use green beans, which are generally cheaper. The original recipe calls for a bit less spice, but I use more and use about 2 tablespoons or more minced onion (if you do this, add more butter or margarine). This is one of my favorite recipes ever =] Enjoy!

GREEN BEAN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD
Very tasty salad of roasted asparagus and green beans. I got the inspiration when I was indecisive about choosing between the two vegetables for a side dish. Roasting the vegetables brings out their great flavor and the addition of cherry tomatoes, onion, and fresh parsley give it a lovely color.

Steps:
- 1. In a big frying pan heat olive oil, add your asparagus and beans, season well with salt and pepper, saute for about 3 min stirring often, add basil and lemon juice stir well to coat and saute for another 3 min. They should be hot but still crispy. Enjoy
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus and green beans. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends. Choose green beans that are also bright green and have a slight snap when you bend them.
- Trim the asparagus and green beans. To trim the asparagus, snap off the tough ends. To trim the green beans, remove the ends and any strings.
- Blanch the asparagus and green beans. Blanching is a quick cooking process that helps to preserve the vegetables' color and nutrients. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the vegetables from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the other ingredients. While the vegetables are blanching, prepare the other ingredients for the stew. Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Mince the ginger. Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Cook the stew. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pot. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and ginger and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spices and cook for 1 minute more. Add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, black beans, blanched asparagus, and green beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through.
- Serve the stew. Ladle the stew into bowls and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This spicy asparagus and green bean stew is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The stew is packed with fresh vegetables and has a slightly spicy kick from the chili powder and cayenne pepper. It is also a good source of protein and fiber, making it a filling and satisfying meal. Serve the stew with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
