Instant Pot Horseradish Dill Asparagus Recipes

ASPARAGUS AMANDINE

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced almonds; stir gently and shake the skillet until almonds are lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Set almonds aside.
• Add butter and olive oil to the same skillet. Swirl skillet until butter is melted and combined with the oil, about 1 minute. Add asparagus spears and season with salt and pepper. Move asparagus around the skillet, gently stirring and turning until tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
• Add bread crumbs to the remaining butter and oil in the warm skillet. Stir until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the cooked asparagus, place browned bread crumbs on top, and garnish with toasted almonds.

ASPARAGUS WITH SLICED ALMONDS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Stir in almonds and parmesan, and cook until the cheese is slightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.

INSTANT POT® PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Bundle together 3 asparagus spears, or 5 spears if they are slender. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around each asparagus bundle, catching the beginning edge of the prosciutto around one spear of asparagus.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter. Place prosciutto-wrapped asparagus bundles seam-side down into the Instant Pot® and saute until prosciutto is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn bundles over and cook until prosciutto is browned, 2 more minutes. Turn bundles over the rest, seam-side down. Pour chicken broth into pot. Select steam pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Serve immediately.

STOCKTON ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, beer, cornstarch, egg whites, baking powder, white pepper, baking soda, celery salt, and black pepper together in a bowl with a wire whisk to form the batter.
• Dip asparagus spears individually in the batter and place carefully in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Dust fried asparagus with Parmesan cheese.

DEEP-FRIED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt in one bowl, eggs and buttermilk in another, and bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
• Coat each asparagus stalk in the flour blend, dunk into the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumbs. Transfer to the refrigerator and let them rest for 30 minutes; this will help the breading stick during frying.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry asparagus in the hot oil, working in batches as needed, until breading is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot.
