Richtee's asparagus

[Richtee]

Use fresh only...store bought if ya must.

Trim "woody" ends off, ideally to the width of a small baking pan.

In a skillet, add enough water to cover the 'gus, a bit of fresh garlic (2 chopped cloves) and CBP, with a pinch of Kosher...simmer for like 10 min. then remove from heat.

Wipe baking pan with olive oil, and lay in a thin coat of good breadcrumbs (I use Progresso Italian) and a bit of mozz.

Lay a layer of 'gus on that, alternating tip orientation.

More crumbs, then cheese...and repeat with the 'gus.

Repeat again to 3 or 4 layers.

Top it off with a small amount of crumbs and a healthy coat of the cheese.

Bake covered at 350° for around 20 min... then remove the cover to brown the top.

Variations- add parm to the mix
Try diced tomatos in there
Add a bit of half and half for a creamier dish
Beef stock/bullion goes well too
Carrot slivers and celery slivers laid in with the 'gus.

Anyway... it's pretty good stuff.

That sounds great, Rich! It's almost time for the wild asparagus here. I'll be trying that one. Thanks for the recipe.

Rich, sounds good

I really got into grilling them with some EVOO, CPB and KS. Might have to give this one a try. Thanks

Sounds good rich. My shoots will be emerging in about a month. But I have the aspara variety and not the gus, should work, LOL. Ok, I admit when you said cover the gus, I initially thought it was some scientific term for a level in the skillet. Well after all you are the rich. hehe
