âThis delicious dish is an easy way to get my daughter to eat asparagus. Sometimes, I make the croutons from focaccia bread. They add another dimension of texture and flavor.â âPatsy Phillips, Sanford, North Carolina Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1 cup cubed french bread |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
dash salt and pepper |
vinaigrette: |
1/4 cup rice vinegar |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, gently toss the asparagus, bread, oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.
2. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until asparagus is tender and bread is golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, cheese, sugar, mustard, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in the oil. Drizzle 1/4 cup over asparagus mixture; toss to coat. Serve immediately with remaining vinaigrette. Yield: 4 servings.
