Roasted Asparagus And Scallion Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Bring a small pot of salted water to boil, add cracked wheat. Cover and simmer until tender - about 20 minutes.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tsp soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, pinches of sea salt and pepper. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil, whisking constantly.
• 3. Drain grain and stir into dressing while warm.
• 4. Heat oven to 425ºF. Spread asparagus and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet. (I line mine with foil.) Drizzle with oil, 1/2 tsp soy sauce and pinches of salt and pepper. Roast until slightly charred, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• 5. Toss salad greens in the bowl with the grain and dressing until coated. Put on serving plates. Add asparagus and scallions; shave parmesan over top.

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cook the asparagus in the boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add to the bowl with the garlic oil.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
• Add the roast beef and scallions to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine oil and garlic; pour over asparagus and turn to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until tender, turning after 10 minutes. Cool completely., In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients; pour over asparagus and turn to coat. Serve immediately or allow to marinate. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cooking the Vegetables
• With a vegetable peeler, shave off the skin from the bottom 3 inches or so of each stalk, so they cook evenly. Snap off the hard stubs at the bottom of the asparagus stalks-they'll break naturally at the right point.
• Trim the root end of each scallion and the wilted ends of the green leaves. Peel off the loose layers at the white end too, so the scallions are all tight, trim, and about 6 inches long.
• In a wide deep skillet, bring 1 quart of water (or enough to cover the vegetables) to a boil, and add the asparagus and scallions.
• Adjust the heat to maintain a bubbling boil, and poach the asparagus and scallions, uncovered, for about 6 minutes or more, until they are tender but not falling apart, and cooked through but not mushy. To check doneness, pick up an asparagus spear in the middle with tongs; it should be a little droopy but not collapsing.
• As soon as they are done, lift out the vegetables with tongs and lay them in a colander (any fat asparagus spears may take a little longer, so leave them in a few minutes more). Hold the colander under cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain briefly, then spread on kitchen towels, pat dry, and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon salt over them.
• Making the Salad
• Slice the asparagus and the scallions into 1-inch lengths, and pile them loosely in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil and vinegar over them, then sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Toss well, but don't break up the vegetables.
• Quarter the eggs into wedges, and slice each wedge into two or three pieces; salt lightly and scatter the egg in the bowl, and fold in with the vegetables. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Chill the salad briefly, then arrange it on a serving platter or on salad plates.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• On jellyroll pan, toss asparagus, carrots and scallions with oil, salt, rosemary and pepper.
• Roast until tender, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, scallions, and the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Toss to coat well. (Time willing, I try to combine the ingredients at least an hour in advance to allow the mixture to marinate.).
• Transfer the asparagus to a baking sheet and arrange in single layer.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast 7 minutes. Stir the mixture and roast until tender and slightly browned, approximately 5 minutes longer.
• Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Break off and discard woody ends of asparagus and place asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of the oil, add salt and pepper to taste and toss together with your hands until asparagus is thoroughly coated with oil. Place in oven and roast 12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned in spots, turning asparagus halfway through. Remove asparagus from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl.
• Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Transfer to bowl with asparagus. Add tarragon and parsley and toss together.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread scallion and asparagus mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle evenly on top. Very slowly pour in egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
