Asparagus With Pine Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare asparagus by snapping off tough ends and rinsing under cool water. Steam until bright green and still slightly crisp, about 5 minutes.

• Snap off the tough ends of asparagus.
• Toss the asparagus with shallot, oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet with sides.
• Roast, turning twice, until the asparagus is tender and browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring vinegar and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until slightly syrupy and reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, toss the asparagus with the reduced vinegar and sprinkle with the pine nuts.

Steps:

• Snap off tough ends of asparagus.
• Remove scales from stalks with knife or vegetable peeler, if desired.
• Place spears in a steaming rack over boiling water; cover and steam 4-5 minutes or until spears are crisp-tender.
• Transfer to a serving platter.
• Sautee pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes, until browned.
• Set aside.
• Combine olive oil and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir with a wire whisk to blend.
• Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.
• Pour over asparagus.
• Sprinkle with pine nuts.
• Let stand to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack upside down on the grill.
• Toss the asparagus with 1/3 cup of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, turning often to ensure even charring, about 5 minutes.
• Add the Pecorino-Romano, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix to combine. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to form an emulsion.
• Arrange the asparagus on a serving plater. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with the pine nuts and more Pecorino.

Steps:

• Cut the cooked asparagus spears into thirds. Put in a food processor with the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Keep in mind you will add Parmesan as well, so be careful not to oversalt. With the machine running, slowly add the cup of olive oil. When the sauce is about the consistency of mayonnaise, it has enough oil. Pulse in the Parmesan. Thin with water, if necessary, to achieve a slick, saucy pesto. Scrape into a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate until needed. You should have about 3 cups. (Keeps about 2 to 3 days, refrigerated.)
