Asparagus Cob Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, cheese and mayonnaise. Place in a 6-inch cast-iron skillet or 2-cup ovenproof bowl. Bake at 375° until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with pita chips.

Steps:

• Trim 3 bunches asparagus; peel the bottoms. Boil until tender, 4 to 5 minutes; drain and cool. Peel the cloves from 4 heads garlic and cook in 1/2 cup olive oil over low heat until soft, 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the oil. Puree the garlic with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard and 1/4 cup water. Blend in 1/4 cup of the garlic oil. Season with salt, pepper and chopped chives; serve with the asparagus.

Steps:

• Steam or microwave asparagus until soft. Process in food processor, leaving some texture. Blend with remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Stir together the mayonnaise, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Serve as a dip for steamed vegetables.

Steps:

• Cut the top off of the Cob Loaf about 1/4 of the way down. Set aside top.
• Gently scoop out the soft bread centre of the Cob Loaf, careful not to break the sides. Tear this soft bread into pieces for dipping and place on a baking tray with the hollow cob loaf.
• Bake in a moderate oven until crisp (avoid browning if possible). Take out and set aside.
• Finely dice Chicken and cook in a non-stick or lightly oiled frypan.
• In a large saucepan/pot over a medium heat, combine Sour Cream, Grated Cheese, Asparagus and cooked Chicken and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is warm. DO NOT BRIN TO THE BOIL!
• Pour mixture into the Cob Loaf, replace top and place in a moderate oven for 5 minutes to heat the outside. If you have some mixture left over just serve in a bowl beside the Cob.
• Serve on a Large Platter surrounded by the dipping pieces. Once the dipping pieces are devoured, break off the sides! The whole lot can be eaten. (The sides and bottom of the cob are the best!).

Steps:

• To make the Parmesan butter, tip the lemon juice into a small saucepan and, over a very low heat, add the butter. Melt and stir the butter into the lemon juice until you have a smooth sauce, add the Parmesan and season to taste, then set aside.
• To make the Asian dressing, using a pestle and mortar, crush the chilli with the brown sugar, then stir in the lime juice until the sugar has dissolved. Stir through the soy sauce and sesame oil, then set aside.
• For the garlic mayonnaise, mix all the ingredients together. Decant the sauces into 3 serving dishes.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the asparagus for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well and serve steaming hot in a pile for everyone to help themselves and dip into the sauce of their choice.

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam until crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain and immediately place in ice water. Drain and pat dry., In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Serve with asparagus.

Steps:

• Place the drained asparagus, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and chilli sauce in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and serve with savoury biscuits.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375. In medium bowl, mix sour cream, cream cheese and asparagus. Add cheese, onions, horseradish, mustard and crabmeat; mix well.
• Spread evenly in ungreased 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve warm with crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat a large pan over medium heat (I use my big soup pot so I can fit all the spinach in at once). Saute the garlic in the oil for about a minute or until fragrant.
• Add the asparagus and water, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-high and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green.
• Add the spinach (in batches if necessary, covering the pan and letting the leaves wilt so there's room for more). Once all the spinach has wilted (about 3 minutes), cook uncovered for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the cashew, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor, and blend until cashews are small, coarse crumbs. Scrape down the sides to make sure you get everything.
• When the spinach is cooked, add the veggies to the food processor, making sure to include all the garlic and any remaining liquid. Puree until relatively smooth. Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
• Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for a few hours. Serve with crackers, pretzel sticks, crudites, bread, etc. The sky's the limit. I think it would even make a good sauce for pasta.

Steps:

• Blanch the asparagus in 2 batches in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 minute.
• Move to a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop it from cooking.
• Drain well and pat dry.
• Whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and wasabi paste until sugar is dissolved.
• Serve asparagus with dip.
• This dip is also good as a spread for sandwiches and as a topping for cooked veggies! Enjoy!
