Raw Asparagus Mushroom And Parsley Salad With Nuts And Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium salad bowl, mix together the mushrooms and parsley.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add the oil mixture to the salad bowl and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan on top and serve.

Steps:

• For the barley: In a medium stockpot, combine barley, stock, and 1½ teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered until barley is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
• For the onion mixture: Chop the shallots by cutting off the bottoms to make them flat. Then cut into the shallot lengthwise, leaving the root end intact; cut down and across for a clean dice. Peel the garlic by smashing it with the back of the knife. Remove the peel, cut the hard root off, and thinly slice. Slice the onion at an angle into half-moon shapes. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat, followed by the shallots and onion. Add ½ teaspoon salt and the pepper; sweat until translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add the garlic and chili flakes and cook until onions are thoroughly softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• For the mushrooms and asparagus: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat, followed by the mushrooms. Add a ½ teaspoon of salt and cook until they have released their liquid and begun to caramelize around the edges. Add the onion mixture back into the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, trim the asparagus by snapping the tough woody ends where they naturally break. Cut diagonally, on a bias.
• Once the grains have opened up and are plump, drain the barley. Spread in a single layer on a sheet tray to cool down. Reheat the mushroom/onion mixture and add the thyme, asparagus, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss and cook for 1 minute; then remove to the sheet tray with the barley. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan; set aside.
• Assemble the dish: Place the cooled barley and asparagus mixture into a large mixing bowl. Toss, taste to adjust seasoning, and drizzle the vinegar and 1 teaspoon of olive oil around the edge of the bowl, followed by the Parmesan shavings. Gently toss again, taste for seasoning, and serve.

Steps:

• Steam the asparagus for three to five minutes, depending on how thick the stalks are. It should be tender but still have some bite. Rinse with cold water, and drain for a minute on a kitchen towel. Cut into 1-inch lengths. Place in a salad bowl, and toss with the mushrooms, herbs and arugula.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the asparagus mixture and the slivered Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut asparagus diagonally into very thin slices and transfer to a large bowl. Halve large mushrooms. Slice mushrooms very thin and add with radishes to asparagus. Toss salad gently.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard and salt. Add oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk until emulsified. Drizzle dressing over asparagus salad and toss gently. Grind pepper over salad.
• Spread watercress on a platter and top with asparagus salad. With a vegetable peeler, shave half to three-fourths of Parmesan into curls over salad, reserving remaining Parmesan for another use.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute asparagus and ginger in oil for 2-3 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Add the mushrooms, salt, sugar and pepper. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until mushrooms are tender.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Whisk in oil until combined. Stir in mushrooms and marinate while making cauliflower.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs with salt and pepper. Add cauliflower and toss until well coated.
• Put cheese in a large bowl. Lift cauliflower out of egg mixture with a slotted spoon and transfer to cheese, tossing to coat.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
• Panfry cauliflower in 3 batches, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• To assemble salad:
• Add parsley and cauliflower to the mushroom mixture, tossing to combine.

Steps:

• Toss the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a salad bowl. Add the herbs and Parmesan.
• Combine the remaining lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, add salt and freshly ground pepper, and whisk in the olive oil. Toss with the mushrooms, herbs and Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
• Place the asparagus and mushrooms in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with rosemary, salt, and pepper; toss well. Lay the asparagus and mushrooms out on the prepared pan in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Soak farro in a large bowl of water for at least 12 hours. Drain.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the drained farro, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, then cook the farro uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue simmering until tender, about 30 more minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus, and cook uncovered until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the asparagus is cold, drain well, and chop. Set aside.
• Place farro, asparagus, tomatoes, walnuts, cranberries, parsley, and chives in a large bowl. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over and sprinkle about 3/4 cups Parmesan cheese, then toss. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Serve at room temperature.
