Now that our six children are grown, they've started sharing recipes with me - and I love it, beams Louisville, Kentucky reader Anna Kreymborg. This tasty way to prepare fresh asparagus - by roasting the spears, then serving them with a Dijon dressing at room temperature - came from our daughter. Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
dressing: |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon snipped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1 tablespoon cider or red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients; pour over asparagus and turn to coat. Serve immediately or allow to marinate. Serve at room temperature. Yield: 12 servings.
