Asparagus

Milan style asparagus

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Two cans of our asparagus
40 grams butter
40 grams grated parmesan cheese
Salt

Preparation

Heat the asparagus, drain them and place them on an oval serving dish with the tips pointing inwards. Cover the green part with abundant parmesan cheese. Brown the butter and when it is nicely brown pour it hot over the cheese so as to slightly melt it. Serve immediately.

If you wish to make Parmesan asparagus, place the plate in the oven at 120°C until the parmesan cheese has nicely melted and slightly browned. Just a few minutes should suffice.

Enjoy!



Asparagus with paprika

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Two cans of our asparagus
50 grams butter
60 grams grated bread crumb
Two decilitres liquid cream (better if slightly turned)
One tablespoon paprika
Salt

Preparation

Heat the asparagus, cut the tips and eliminate the tough parts. In a small frying pan, brown the butter with the bread crumbs and place about half of this, together with about half of the liquid cream, into a baking pan. Place the asparagus tips in this pan.

Cover them with the remaining cream and sprinkle with the rest of the browned bread crumbs and abundant paprika. Grill in a very hot oven (220°C).

Be careful not to over cook the asparagus as they will continue cooking in the oven. Matching the sour cream with the paprika exacts and spices the delicate taste of the asparagus.

Enjoy!



Avgolemono style asparagus

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Two cans of our asparagus
The white part of 4 small fresh onions, cut into thin wedges
Two tablespoons parsley
Two or three tablespoons hot water
Juice from one or two lemons
One whole egg plus one yolk
Sufficient oil
A small amount of butter
Salt
Pepper

Preparation

Heat the asparagus. In the meantime, lightly brown the onions in oil and butter. Drain the asparagus and add them to the onions, and then add the minced parsley, salt and a good pinch of pepper. While it is cooking, add a few spoonfuls of hot water.

On the side, beat the whole egg plus yolk as if you were preparing an omelette. Squeeze the lemon juice into it and continue beat it until a whitish and creamy mixture is obtained. Pour it over the asparagus mixture one minute before turning the heat off and serve hot.

The sauce must remain very fluid, as if it were cream, without turning into scrambled egg. It can be served with bread slices, better if home-made type, slightly toasted in the oven.

Enjoy!
