AWESOME RICE AND ASPARAGUS
I had rental properties years ago and one of my renters was from another country and she gave me the original recipe which I have altered to my taste. I have never taken this to any function that people didn't simply love it and had to have the recipe! The flavors all blend together wonderfully and if there are leftovers they are great reheated.

Steps:
- Use a very large skillet (I use my chicken fryer) and fry tomatoes and onions in 3 T. butter.
- Add the rice and cook till it absorbs most of the tomato liquid.
- Add the water and beef bouillon cubes, cook till rice is done.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, put a layer of rice mixture, then a layer of sour cream, a layer of asparagus, then a layer of parmesan cheese. Repeat using all ingredients and ending with asparagus and parmesan.
- Bake in a 350* oven for 15 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
- I press the rice down with the back of my spoon to make it stick together better so when the pan is done it can be cut into squares and it stays together. Note: You can use any rice but I prefer to use Jasmine because it will stick together the best and we love the taste of Jasmine rice.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion, and cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and toast the grains, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to look opaque (bright white), about 4 minutes. Add the water, butter, lemon slice, and lemon zest, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and discard them. Cut the spears on a diagonal into 1-inch lengths. Fill a large non-reactive pot with a steamer rack with 1/2 inch water, place the pot over medium heat, and bring the water to a simmer. Add the asparagus, cover, and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a serving bowl and toss in the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:
- Combine rice and stock and bring to boil in heavy-bottom pot.
- Chop whole onion and heat oil in small nonstick pot. When oil is hot, add the onion, reduce heat to medium high and saute onion until it softens and begins to brown.
- When rice begins to boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover, cooking a total of 17 minutes.
- Wash and break tough stems from asparagus at the point where the woody part meets the tender part. Cut the asparagus just below the head and then cut remaining stems into one-inch pieces.
- When the onion is soft, stir it into the rice. Place a steamer in the pot in which the onion was cooked and place asparagus in the steamer; cook about 3 minutes, until asparagus is crisp but tender.
- Wash, dry and mince enough mint to make 2 tablespoons.
- When rice is cooked, stir in drained asparagus and add mint and the salt.

ASPARAGUS CASHEW RICE PILAF
This is an adaptation of an old Armenian recipe, and this variation is so delicious I can't stop eating it. It's a great way to stretch expensive seasonal asparagus and pricey cashews. It's great as a side dish or as a vegetarian entree.

ASPARAGUS FRIED RICE
We often have fried rice in various guises, either as accompaniment or as a one-dish light meal. In this version, fresh asparagus gives nuttiness and crisp texture that cannot be achieved with the canned product. TIP: 1. It is essential for the cooked rice to be loose-grained. Either pre-wash the rice in cold water to remove the free starch or allow cooked rice to cool to room temperature and then fluff with two-pronged fork. Attempting the latter with unwashed warm rice will result in a sticky mush. Cooking time does not include cooking the rice as this step can be done in advance. 2. A non-stick or seasoned carbon steel wok is most suitable for stir-frying rice. VARIATIONS: 1. Replace the asparagus with chopped mushrooms, fresh peppers, bacon, ham, canned tuna or any other ingredient, or any combination. Also add scrambled raw egg to the rice while constantly stirring in final stages of frying for added flavour. 2. Replace red onion with white, green or spring, or shallots as and when available. 3. Spiciness is varied by adding more or less crushed chillies and using fresh green or red chillies add to colour. 4. Rice can be cooked in any stock of your choice, or add two teaspoonsful of any soup powder mix to the water in which the rice is cooked to achieve subtle variations in taste.
