Asparagus Recipes

I made asparagus from a can, and it was good but to heat it up I basically made mush out of it. How do you make your fresh/canned asparagus?

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I only like fresh asparagus.

I either put it in the oven for 15 minutes with some olive oil, salt and pepper or I use my asparagus pot. Yes, there is an asparagus pot

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I have always used fresh asparagus. I either boil them or grill them and then add olive oil and balsanic vinegar with some garlic powder, salt and black pepper.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I use a big pot - like the kind that you would use to make a large pot of gravy with. I just eyeball them and stick a fork in them occasionally until they are tender.

HTH!

Re: Asparagus Recipes

It does help, thanks!

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I either steam them, sautee them or grill them.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I only like fresh asparagus. Here is what I do:

Squeeze some lemon juice on the tips, salt, pepper and olive oil. Put in oven for a few mins at 400 degrees. Take them out and sprinkle some parmasean cheese on the tips, put back in oven for a few mins for cheese to melt. So yummy!

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I prefer fresh apsapragus, I either

toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic and throw them on the grill until they are tender,

or I do all of the above, and put them in the oven and then the last few minutes under the broiler after sprinkling with parmesean cheese.

once in a while, I will marinate them for like an hour or so in italian dressing before grilling them.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I use fresh asparagus and stick them on the George Foreman grill until they have grill marks. Top with EVOO and enjoy.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I'm a fresh asparagus person. I like to put it on a baking sheet with a little Olive oil, salt and a squeeze of lemon and then bake it for 10 min. at 400 degrees.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I've only used fresh asparagus but I've basically done it three ways --- steam it in the microwave with my microsteamer thing from tupperware, toss with a tiny bit of olive oil, garlic, salt/pepper and spread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven, or just grill it on the bbq!

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I also only use fresh asparagus. I saute it with some olive oil and I season them until they are really tender. I also like to boil them let them cool and then make a salad out of it with just some salt/pepper olive oil and vingear. Sometimes I make it for breakfest. I saute it until tender then I put in a few eggs and make it like scrambled eggs. That is yummy. My mother makes an asparagus soup that is so good.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

fresh asparagus- steam it in a steamer then throw on some butter, bread crumnbs and lemon and put in over for a few min until crumbs are brown... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I bake in toaster oven at 400 with olive oil and garlic, then when they are done (about 20 minutes) I take them out, sprinkle a little bit of balsamic on and serve hot. LOVE them this way.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

Ok I bought fresh asparagus and I am going to try to bake them tonight. I dont have a steamer (or at least I dont know how to steam veggies) but I will let you know how it comes out.

I don't have an asparagus steamer either so when I want/need to steam asparagus, I lie them down in a jelly roll pan (cookie sheep with a lip) with a little water (jsut covering the bottom). Then I bake on like 350-375 until tender.

Re: Asparagus Recipes

I love Asparagus Grilled either on the stove top or bbq.

for appetizers ....I like Asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. And I also like it wrapped with phyllo bread
