Asparagus is an extremely healthy vegetable. It is equally good as a side dish and as an independent dish. Even eating asparagus every day, you can cook a new dish every time.
Especially good is that for all its usefulness and excellent taste properties, asparagus is a very affordable and easy-to-prepare product.
Here are 5 easy asparagus recipes.
Boiled asparagus is a delicacy. The ease of preparation does not detract from the benefits and taste of this vegetable.
Pour water into a large saucepan, lightly salt it and put on fire. There are no exact proportions between the volumes of vegetables and liquid. As soon as it boils, you should throw in the washed and, if necessary, chopped asparagus. It cooks for 2-3 minutes, no more. The heat treatment time directly depends on the thickness of the stems. It is important not to overcook the product so that the finished dish is crispy.
When the cooking time is up, the asparagus should be removed from the water, for example, with a colander, sprinkle with spices, put on plates and serve. You can also put mayonnaise, vinegar or lemon juice on the table. But during the cooking process, you do not need to add all this, otherwise the taste of asparagus will not be the best.
Not only barbecue, but also asparagus can be a great idea for a country holiday in the country or for a trip to nature. This is literally a salvation for those who do not eat meat. And cooking vegetables on the grill is easy.
So, the grill needs to be heated up, and then put the asparagus washed and dried with a towel on it, sprinkle with a little olive oil. It is advisable to add salt and spices to an already prepared dish, although this can also be done at the stage of frying the asparagus. Asparagus is cooked on the grill for about 5 minutes. As soon as a light crust has formed on one side, turn it over for 1-2 minutes on the other side, and then put the finished dish on plates.
Those who prefer stewing to all cooking methods will be delighted to try cooking asparagus in this way. It's quick and easy, and incredibly delicious.
Alas, when asparagus is stewed, most of the nutrients disappear. If we talk about the preparation of the product with the preservation of vitamins, then cooking should be preferred. And yet, stewing asparagus is worth it.
You need to take a frying pan with high walls and a thick bottom, pour vegetable oil into it or melt butter. Whole pre-washed asparagus stalks are cut in the middle diagonally. They need to be put in a pan when the oil is hot, salt and, stirring, simmer for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. It is advisable not to cover with a lid.
Mayonnaise or sauces based on it are served with the finished dish. You can sprinkle the asparagus with lemon juice or vinegar.
This cooking method is ideal if the asparagus stalks are thick and dense. They need to be washed and dried. We turn on the oven at 220 degrees. While it is warming up, you need to grease the sheet with vegetable oil, put the asparagus on it in an even layer. Spray the stems with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and spices, then send to the oven. After 10 minutes the dish is ready.
If it takes 10 minutes to prepare an ordinary omelette, then you will have to spend 1-2 minutes more on a dish with asparagus. Wash and cut the asparagus into small pieces. Separately, beat 2 eggs with 60 ml of milk and salt, as well as spices. We send the chopped vegetable to the pan, fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. After that, pour the scrambled egg onto the fried asparagus, reduce the fire on the stove to a minimum, and cover the cooking dish with a lid. After 2-3 minutes, this simple, but tasty and healthy culinary masterpiece can be placed on plates and treated. By the way, this is one of the best options for breakfast - quick to prepare, tasty and healthy. And also very nutritious.
Be that as it may, but more often than other methods of cooking asparagus, it is the usual cooking that is chosen. There is one very unusual way. For it, it is necessary that the length of the stems be at least 12-15 centimeters. The asparagus is tied in a bunch and in an upright position, sprouts up, down for a couple of minutes in boiling water. The most delicate upper parts are steamed and are especially tender.
Immediately after cooking, the vegetable should be substituted under a stream of cold water for 1-2 minutes. Then the asparagus will retain its color and be very crispy.
