Breaded Asparagus Food

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ASPARAGUS-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 9 minutes, adding the asparagus during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon tarragon in a shallow dish. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the paprika. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on one side of the chops, then press, mustard-side down, into the crumb mixture.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops, crumb-side down, and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Whisk the sour cream, vinegar and the remaining 1 tablespoon each mustard and tarragon in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and asparagus, the basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss. Serve with the pork chops.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Carefully place coated asparagus in the hot oil; fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.

FRIED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry asparagus. Snap or cut the fibrous root ends off and discard. Thin stalks work best, since thicker stalks are too fibrous. **Note: I prefer the snap method. I was always taught that the snap method is more accurate as to where the fibrous bottom ends.
• 2. In a shallow dish, combine italian breadcrumbs, romano cheese, all the seasonings and mix well to combine. Set aside. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs, cream or half and half and set aside. Place a rack in a sheet pan and set aside. Start preheating the oven to 200F.
• 3. Dip a few stalks of the asparagus in the eggs and allow some of the egg to drip off. Coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Let it set for a couple minutes and then re-dip the asparagus in the egg and the breadcrumbs to add a thicker layer of coating. Place the breaded asparagus on a sheet pan. Repeat this process with the remaining stalks of asparagus.
• 4. Heat about 1″ of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering. When the oil is hot, fry the asparagus until golden brown, which should only take a minute or so. They cook fast! Transfer to a sheet pan equipped with a rack and place the pan in the oven to keep warm while you fry the remaining stalks of asparagus. Serve with your preferred dipping sauce (I prefer ranch dip, but I also prefer them plain).

CHEESY BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place asparagus in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover with bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
• Lay thin slices of butter on top.
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove cover, and bake 5 minutes more, or until browned on top.

BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place asparagus in a large plastic bag. Drizzle half the olive oil over the asparagus, seal the bag and shake until asparagus is coated evenly with the olive oil. If necessary, add only enough of the remaining olive oil to coat the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a cookie sheet, season with salt and pepper. Bake until tender or crunchy depending upon your preference, about 12 to 20 minutes.
• Tips: (Shortcut chef) Toss asparagus with oil, salt and pepper as directed below and store in refrigerator until you're ready to bake it off. Get into the habit of spending 5 to 15 minutes prepping tonight or tomorrow's dinner during the day and you will be eating in more than out. The weight will come off quicker with home cooked healthful meals and you know it.
• Tip: From mom's lips to your ears: You forgot to tell them to snap off the woody bottoms. Tell em to hold asparagus, one at a time, in their hands near the cut end and snap it like kindling. Mother Nature saw to it that the asparagus breaks in just the right spot, save the ends for stock.
• Morph: Serve one other simple veggie side and a piece of oven baked fish such as salmon and dinner is all done. Cook off extra asparagus and throw it into a frittata, polenta, or pasta later in the week.
• If the Queen's coming for dinner, toss cooked asparagus with fresh lemon, plate and garnish with thin curls of Parmesan.
• Tip: Asparagus starts losing its sweetness the minute it's cut, therefore, as always, look for the freshest stalks possible. Skins should be smooth and bright colored with tightly formed heads.
