Sole With Ramps Asparagus And Roasted Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large baking dish, toss the red potatoes with 1/2 the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and 1/2 the kosher salt. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Mix in the asparagus, remaining olive oil, and remaining salt. Cover, and continue cooking 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove foil, and continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes, until potatoes are lightly browned. Season with pepper to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss bread-crumbs with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add asparagus. Return to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add potatoes to pot; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Arrange potatoes in the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch or 2-quart baking dish (about 1 1/2 inches deep).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until it has a slightly nutty aroma, about 30 seconds. Gradually (to avoid lumps) whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Arrange prosciutto and half of asparagus on top. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with remaining asparagus, then bread-crumbs. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to baking time.) Bake until bubbling around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve, sprinkled with more Pecorino and chive blossoms.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Wash the ramps very well in several changes of cold water. Trim away the roots. Using a sharp knife, chop both the white and the green parts of the ramps into 2-inch pieces.
• Trim the asparagus by breaking off the tough stems where they snap. Discard the stems.
• Cook the asparagus in the boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the stalks. They should be just tender to the bite, but still firm and green.
• Drain the asparagus and run them briefly under cold water to cool. Chop into 2-inch pieces.
• Bring 1 cup of lightly salted water to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ramps and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until soft.
• Drain the ramps and run them briefly under cold water to cool. Using your hands, squeeze the ramps in a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel to remove any excess water.
• Gently toss the asparagus and ramps with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a serving bowl until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill well before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim the asparagus spears, then place them in a baking dish. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Roast until they are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the spears.
• Meanwhile, place the garlic in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Cut off and discard the crusts from the bread, then add the bread to the processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and the butter together in a medium skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, finely zest the lemon until you get about 1 teaspoon of zest.
• Add the garlic and bread crumbs to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the crumbs are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Arrange the fish fillets on an aluminum foil- or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Squeeze the juice of half of the lemon over the fish, then press the bread crumb mixture on top. Bake until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes. While the fish is cooking, chop the parsley.
• To serve, arrange the fish on serving plates with the asparagus alongside. Sprinkle with the juice from the remaining lemon half and the parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and in a large bowl toss potatoes and asparagus gently with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil until coated well. Spread vegetables in 2 shallow baking pans and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven switching position of pans halfway through roasting, 15 minutes or until crisp-tender and pale golden. Transfer vegetables to a platter and drizzle with vinegar and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, rosemary and garlic; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast at 400° for 20 minutes, stirring once., Drizzle asparagus with remaining oil; add to the pan. Roast 15-20 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
