I got lots of asparagus today I'm going
0:02
to be making three asparagus dishes
0:06
perfect for your appetizers or even side
0:08
dishes these will look delicious on your
0:11
Thanksgiving table even Christmas time
0:14
or Easter whenever you need a delicious
0:17
asparagus recipe first one we're going
0:20
to be using puff pastry our second dish
0:23
we're going to be using a felo dough and
0:26
then the third one I'm going to show you
0:27
how to incorporate bacon with the
0:30
asparagus we're going to start with the
0:31
first one using puff pastry now you want
0:34
to thaw these out Pur the directions on
0:36
the back of the package it generally
0:38
takes about 40 minutes or you can leave
0:40
it in the refrigerator overnight now
0:43
these sheets come in two packages here
0:47
I'm only going to be using one for this
0:49
recipe this is an asparagus tart we're
0:52
going to lightly flour our work
0:55
surface make sure it's nice and clean
1:00
we're going to lay it
1:01
out take out the
1:03
[Music]
1:05
paper we're going to take a rolling pen
1:07
and we're going to roll this
1:09
out we want more of a rectangular shape
1:12
so we're going to go this way right here
1:14
with it doubling the size of it now this
1:17
is a tart and Tarts are generally rustic
1:21
so you don't have to be too perfect with
1:23
the shape of it now I'm just going to
1:24
take a little bit of flour flour my
1:27
rolling pin here we're going to take
1:29
this
1:30
kind of like you're doing a pie crust
1:32
and we're just going to kind of roll it
1:34
onto itself we're going to bring our
1:35
sheet pan over with the
1:37
parchment we're going to lay it down and
1:40
then roll it back out onto the parchment
1:41
paper I'm using a 10x 15 pan so it'll
1:46
fit it there we go now we're going to
1:49
take a pairing knife and we're going to
1:51
go 1 in border around the pastry here
1:55
we're going to score it which means
1:57
we're not going to go through the whole
1:59
dough to the parchment we're just going
2:01
to show a line just like that you don't
2:04
want to cut through just a nice score so
2:08
you're just dragging your knife
2:10
through turn that like
2:16
that we're going to take a fork and
2:18
we're going to press the fork into the
2:20
dough the center of the dough not the
2:23
outside border and what this will do is
2:26
keep the dough from puffing up in the
2:28
center here but the outside edge will
2:30
puff
2:34
up just like that I've got my oven
2:37
preheated at 400° we're going to go
2:40
ahead and kind of par bake this for
2:43
about 10 minutes now I have enough
2:46
asparagus for all three recipes that
2:48
we're doing today if you're doing only
2:50
the tart you'll need about 15 asparagus
2:53
for that recipe to prepare the asparagus
2:56
you want to take one end then take the
2:58
other end and you you want to kind of
3:00
break it until it
3:03
snaps now this is the part you don't
3:05
want cuz it's kind of hard and we're
3:08
going to keep this part right here now
3:10
I'm going to put them all back into the
3:11
colander as I'm snapping them that way
3:13
we can give them a nice rinse all right
3:15
just take both ends and then you're
3:17
going to start bending it till it snaps
3:20
and that's the part we want I'm going to
3:22
go rinse these and then we're going to
3:24
take them over to our pot of boiling
3:25
water now I've brought a large pot of
3:27
water to a boil now if you put lid on it
3:30
it comes to a boil faster I'm going to
3:32
season it with about half a tablespoon
3:35
of salt we'll just flavor the asparagus
3:38
which will be good there we go now I'm
3:40
going to add in my
3:45
asparagus put a timer on for 2 minutes
3:48
cuz all we're doing is blanching the
3:50
asparagus it'll give it a nice color
3:54
and'll start the cooking process on it
3:57
now once the 2 minutes are up I'm going
3:59
to pull them out put them back into the
4:00
colander run cold water over them to
4:03
stop the cooking process I put ice in
4:06
there that'll really help get it nice
4:07
and cold once I run the water in there
4:10
and then by the time we do this our puff
4:13
pastry will be coming out of the
4:15
oven I like to put the ice on top make
4:18
sure you run the water until the
4:20
asparagus cools down these are going to
4:23
finish cooking in the oven okay I've got
4:25
my puffed pastry out of the oven I'm
4:27
going to take a spatula and just kind of
4:29
put push down the center there that way
4:31
we have a wall to keep all of our
4:34
ingredients
4:38
in now the next ingredient we're going
4:40
to add to this is called an onion Jam
4:43
you can make your own by sautéing down
4:45
some like red onions Dijon mustard a
4:49
little bit of sugar and some seasonings
4:52
will give you almost the same thing
4:54
right here we find this at Amazon you
4:58
can even just serve it with this on the
5:01
side if you want to do that if you're
5:02
not sure what people like you don't need
5:05
this we like it as an extra flavor
5:09
smells so good it gives you that nice
5:12
onion flavor or like I said you can make
5:14
your own now what we're going to do is
5:16
add the cheese we're going to be adding
5:18
some shredded smoked guray
5:21
cheese this is some good stuff okay I
5:24
wanted to show you what the cheese
5:25
looked like right here smoked GRE a now
5:29
these are 6 oz each and we're going to
5:32
see if we're going to need both of them
5:33
this is a block of it so what I'm going
5:35
to do is take off that rind we really
5:37
don't want that on there so I'm just
5:39
going to go really thin pull that
5:46
off man that smells good
5:49
good
5:53
yeah we're going to start shredding it
5:56
now I'm using the bigger end on my
6:00
Shredder all right we got a little nub
6:03
there yeah right let's finish this one
6:06
up oh my God that is so good nothing
6:10
like fresh grated
6:12
cheese don't
6:14
even don't even get that stuff in a bag
6:17
for this
6:19
recipe all right let's bring our tart
6:21
over I think we're going to have enough
6:23
cheese we're going to place this all on
6:25
the inside of our tart I think this will
6:27
do it all right we're just going to
6:28
evenly move it around doesn't that look
6:30
good yes it does all right let's get the
6:32
rest of it on there no waste okay I'm
6:35
going to bring some of my asparagus over
6:37
I just laid them on a paper towel just
6:39
drain them off a little bit so they're
6:40
not so wet what we're going to do is
6:42
place them on there's your hip we're
6:44
going to lay it like this right on the
6:45
cheese we're going to take the other one
6:47
and we're going to place it Opposite and
6:48
that's what we're going to do going all
6:49
the way down we're going to be using
6:51
some avocado oil or you can even use
6:53
olive oil we're just going to drizzle it
6:55
on top of the asparagus just like that
6:58
we're going to take some cracked black
7:00
pepper right across the top I'm shaking
7:02
it to get really out there bring in some
7:05
Parmesan cheese grated we're going to
7:07
sprinkle it on top we're going to place
7:10
this back in the oven it's still heated
7:12
at 400° we're going to bake this for
7:14
another 10 minutes until the cheese is
7:17
nice and golden and melted on there and
7:20

7:22
edges of our tart all right there's the
