ZESTY ASPARAGUS AND WHITE BEAN SALAD



Zesty Asparagus and White Bean Salad image

Adapted from Farmer John's Cookbook by John Peterson (Gibbs Smith, 2006). The long months of winter greens and root vegetables are coming to a close, and what better way to tip your hat to spring eating than with asparagus? In this recipe for Asparagus and White Bean Salad, asparagus takes center stage with a cast of enthusiastic flavors like feta, lemon zest, mint and radishes. Hello spring! Served with crusty bread, this salad makes a terrific meal. SIMPLE SOLUTION: White beans provide a delectable, hearty tenderness, without overwhelming the asparagus. Tangy feta, zesty lemon, and a touch of mint gives this salad a bright and refreshing flavor. If you have a special steamer just for asparagus, in which the asparagus is steamed standing upright, cut the asparagus into pieces after steaming.

BRAISED ASPARAGUS



Braised Asparagus image

Very simple, very tasty. The veggies will be a bit drab in color, but the butter and broth will cook down into a lightly-thickened sauce that coats the spears with sweet deliciousness.

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb asparagus
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup low sodium chicken broth or 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cut off the woody white ends of the asparagus spears. If desired, remove the tough fibrous outer layer from the lower half of each spear using a vegetable peeler.
  • In a straight-sided saute pan, heat oil until smoking. Add asparagus in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Shake pan to turn spears and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add stock and butter to pan and immediately cover.
  • Cook until spears are tender and butter and stock have emulsified into a lightly-thickened sauce, 7-10 minutes. (If sauce evaporates and butter begins to burn, add a couple of tablespoons of water.) Serve at once.
