Category: Asparagus
Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 thick slice good bread
1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano, about 1 ounce
1 1/2 lbs thin asparagus, more or less
3 tbsp butter, extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat oven to 500; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 4
VARIATIONS: Forget the topping and toss the spears with 1 tbsp of minced garlic when you add the oil, then roast. Skip the broiler step.
For roast asparagus with soy and sesame, use 1 tbsp peanut oil instead of olive oil or butter. Halfway through roasting, add 1 tbsp of soy sauce to the asparagus, toss gently and finish roasting. When the spears are cooked, top with about 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and run under the broiler until they pop, about 1 minute. Finish with a tsp or two of soy sauce.
