Early Bird Asparagus Supreme Recipes

ASPARAGUS SALAD SUPREME

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms, onions and walnuts in butter until mushrooms are tender. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt and nutmeg. Stir in mushroom mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, place asparagus on a serving platter; top with dressing and walnuts if desire.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

SUPERFAST ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Snap the asparagus at the tender part of the stalk. Arrange spears in one layer on a baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray; sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 10 minutes.

ASPARAGUS SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Steam asparagus for ten minutes, then arrange in an ungreased baking dish (any size will do).
• Melt butter and mix in soup mix and pour over asparagus. (If you don't want to use all the butter, cut the stick in half and replace with as much water.).
• Top with mozzarella cheese (as much as you want!).
• Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden-brown around edges. Serve hot.
