Roasted Asparagus Sandwich With Tarragon Mayo Recipes

ROASTED TARRAGON ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with pepper and salt. Toss to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 13-15 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally. Sprinkle with tarragon.

BROILED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON TARRAGON DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Toss the asparagus with 4 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet, and broil in the preheated oven until the asparagus spears are just tender and begin to turn lightly brown, about 8 minutes. Turn the spears over halfway through cooking.
• While the spears are cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, shallot, tarragon, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Once the asparagus is done, place it onto a serving platter and pour the dressing overtop.

OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SANDWICH WITH TARRAGON MAYO

Steps:

• 1. Top 4 slices whole-grain artisan bread with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese;(or can use the Texas Toast) place on rimmed baking sheet. Arrange asparagus around bread; brush with extra-virgin olive oil. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is lightly toasted; remove bread. Continue broiling asparagus 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
• 2. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 3/4 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon and 1/2 tablespoon sliced green onion. Spread over un-toasted side of two slices of bread. Top with asparagus; sprinkle with coarse sea salt and pepper. Top with remaining bread, Parmesan-side up.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PESTO CRèME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Place the asparagus in a baking pan. Don't worry about finding a pan large enough to hold the asparagus in one layer - the stalks can overlap a bit. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss gently to coat the asparagus evenly. Sprinkle on the salt, and toss again.
• Roast the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes for thin stalks, 10 to 14 for thick ones. If they overlap, just give them a little shuffle with a spatula halfway through the cooking time so they all have a chance to brown a bit. Remember that they will continue to cook a bit after you remove them from the oven, so take them out while they're still a little firmer than you would like.
• While the asparagus are roasting, blend together the crème fraiche with the pesto, taste and see if it needs additional salt and pepper. (Remembering that you seasoned the asparagus.)
• When the asparagus are cooked you can either drip over the thick creamy sauce, or you can transfer it to a small plastic bag, snip off a little corner of the bag and squeeze out the sauce over the asparagus. Serve just like that, sprinkled with lemon zest, or toss the asparagus so that it is coated with the sauce, and then sprinkle the lemon zest over.

BAKED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Add asparagus to the baking sheet and add olive oil, lemon juice and all seasonings. Toss to evenly coat then arrange asparagus in a single layer. Evenly top with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 425 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until tender but still crisp.
• While the asparagus is baking, make Panko topping. Melt one tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add panko and stir to coat then continue to cook and stir until panko is golden.
• Sprinkle toasted panko all over baked asparagus. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Trim 3 bunches asparagus; peel the bottoms. Boil until tender, 4 to 5 minutes; drain and cool. Peel the cloves from 4 heads garlic and cook in 1/2 cup olive oil over low heat until soft, 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the oil. Puree the garlic with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard and 1/4 cup water. Blend in 1/4 cup of the garlic oil. Season with salt, pepper and chopped chives; serve with the asparagus.

TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl mix chicken, mayonnaise, sour cream, and tarragon until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold in grapes and pecans. Chill for at least one hour. Check seasoning again and adjust, if desired. The chicken salad can be made at least 24 hours in advance. Scoop chicken salad onto a slice of bread. Top with another slice of bread. Cut off crusts, then cut sandwich into desired shape (rectangles, triangles, or rounds).
