A good recipe for deep-fried asparagus.?
Ingredients


1/2 cup cornstarch


3/4 cup flour


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon white pepper


1/2 teaspoon celery salt


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 teaspoon black pepper


2 egg whites


2/3 cup cold, flat beer


3 pounds asparagus, raw, whole, cleaned and cut above white end


Peanut oil, for frying


Directions


Mix all ingredients except asparagus and oil in a bowl with a wire whisk until well blended. Dip asparagus individually in the batter and deep-fry them in at least 2 inches of peanut oil for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
this depends on how many asparagus you have but you can cut them into pieces if you like ,in a bowl put some flour a bit of salt and use 1/2 to 1 bottle of beer bat well until a batter is formed and dip the asparagus or other vegetables if you wish into it and deep fry , rest them on a paper towel that will absorb the oil .
No one deep fries asparagus. If you want delicious fried asparagus, then try this: dip in egg and then in flavored breadcrumbs. Fry in olive oil and keep warm in a preheated 350掳 oven. Will not be greasy as if deep fried.
I'm sorry but that sounds just awful...why not just stir fry it in a little butter? haha

Recipe for Egg Bake with Asparagus, Ham and Mushrooms in it?

Breakfast Casserole with Asparagus, Mushrooms, and Cheese


(Makes 8 generous servings)





1 lb. fresh asparagus, washed, ends trimmed, and cut into 1 inch pieces


1 lb. fresh mushrooms (or more) washed and cut into half slices


1-2 T olive oil (depending on your pan)


6 oz.cheese


12 eggs


2 T milk, half and half, or cream


1 tsp. Spike Seasoning or Johnny's seasoning


(optional, but recommended)








Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a glass casserole dish with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil. Be sure to spray the sides too, or the eggs will stick. (I used a dish that was 13.5'; X 9.5'; but any size close to that will work.)





Wash asparagus and mushrooms and let drain dry. Trim off woody asparagus ends, then cut into pieces about 1 inch long. Cut mushrooms in half lengthwise, then turn and cut into half slices.





Heat a small amount of olive oil in heavy frying pan and saute asparagus 3-4 minutes, until it is barely starting to turn bright green. Add asparagus to casserole dish and spread out into single layer. Add more oil to pan if needed, and saute mushrooms until they are softened and all liquid is evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Layer mushrooms in casserole dish on top of asparagus.





Sprinkle cheese on top of asparagus and mushrooms. Break eggs into mixing bowl, add milk, half and half, or cream and Spike Seasoning if using. Beat eggs a few minutes, until whites and yolks are well combined, then pour over asparagus, mushrooms, and cheese.





Bake about 45-55 minutes, until eggs are well set, cheese is melted, and casserole is barely starting to brown. Serve hot, topped with sour cream if desired. This can be refrigerated and re-heated in the microwave. Egg casseroles can also be frozen, then thawed in the refrigerator and reheated.

  • I am making a recipe with Asparagus...?

    I have a pasta/chicken/ asparagus recipe I want to make for dinner tonight. The recipe says to boil water, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, then remove and cut to 2 in pieces. Is this the best way to get the asparagus cooked??? or could I steam it to make sure it gets tender?? My sister made this recipe and said her asparagus was not tender, but still kind of crunchy/firm...I am making a recipe with Asparagus...?
    Depends on the size of the asparagus.... larger stalks take a bit longer than the pencil thin ones, but neither takes long.





    For an average (1 lb) bunch, I would trim off the tough bottom ends of the stalks 1- 2 inches and discard them. Cut spears to desires size, toss thems with a 1Tbl olive oil 1/2 tsp salt and pinch of black pepper and cook in saute pan over medium heat for 3-4 mins, stir/toss a few times, until crisp/tender. If not done enough, add a little water to the pan 1/4 cup or so, cover and steam until desired doneness.I am making a recipe with Asparagus...?
    Asparagus should be cooked with a little crunch left in it. It's such a delicate veg that if you over cook it can taste bitter. What you can do is cook in the boiling water as your sister does drain and then quickly griddle.
    Whether you steam it or boil it is up to you, however when you steam the asparagus retains more of it's nutrients and to me seems a little easier to control the cooking process. If you do boil it I suggest just doing the two minutes as it will continue to cook once it is taken out of the water and by the time it makes it to the table should (if kept warm) be about perfect. You do want asparagus to be a bit crunchy trust me soggy is just not good. You spent the money for fresh asparagus you should prepare it in a way that brings out it's flavor.
    It depends on whether or not you want the asparagus 'crunchy'. Your sister's right...if you steam it, it'll turn out crunchier than boiling will...but it'll also retain more of its nutrients. If you want it more tender, then boil it...but make sure it's no longer than the recommended 2 minutes or else it will be 'mushy'.
    If you want to have your asparagus tender and moist you may first want to cut off the white part at the end. This white part contains lignen, a plant fiber that makes the plant very tough and strong so it can stand up strait out of the ground... like asparagus dose. If you cut this part off and then cook it, you will have less fiber in your asparagus, but more tender asparagus.





    I would not boil the asparagus because if you cook it that way you will get rid of the water soluble B-vitamins that are in asparagus. Folate (vitamin B-9) is extremely high in asparagus, so you do not want to boil them. The I always just saute them for a couple minutes in a large pan with some extra virgin olive oil until they are tender. You could steam them too.... but i like to saute them.
    I saute my asparagus in a pan with some olive oil it turns out really nice
    A little olive oil and bake for 15 min. That's as I do it, less watery for casseroles, etc
    Sure, you could steam it or just boil it a little longer until it is how you like it.
    I like to cut my asparagus first. You could steam it, boil it, saute it etc....

    Bought precooked asparagus in a can what kind of recipes are out there?

    I buy the pieces and stems like with mushrooms and make both hot and cold soups, just blend them with dairy or soya milk, seasonings and warm or chill and serve with sour cream or soya yougart and chopped chive, even keep a few piece and chop them into the soup, the same blending and warming a bit of butter or margarine, parmesan cheese and cream or soya cheese and soya milk to thin and then tossed over whole wheat or semolina pasta with again some pieces cut up or I like rice pastas.





    Even added to the stock for making risotto is nice and some added at the end for flavour with the final cheese and butte/margarine component. I am a former chef and now a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and like them for this, not much else you can do with them but the pieces and stems here in Canada at our Dollar store are 2 for $1.00 and I stock up when I can and keep a few on hand at all times.Bought precooked asparagus in a can what kind of recipes are out there?
    Canned asparagus is pretty terrible:) .... It's overcooked, mushy and an ugly green color - and doesn't taste anything like fresh or frozen asparagus:) .... You CAN drain %26amp; marinate it in some Italian-type dressing though, and serve it cold, in salads. Don't waste your money on canned again, though.......
