Answer 1

Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

8 or 9 asparagus spears, depending on size
1/2 (16-ounce) package frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve 1 stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. Take 1 sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with some melted butter. Sprinkle with some Parmesan. Place 2 to 3 asparagus spears on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Grilled Asparagus

1 1/2 lb medium asparagus (24), trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Special equipment: 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 10 minutes

Prepare grill.

Divide asparagus into 4 bunches. Align each bunch in a flat row and thread 2 skewers crosswise through each bunch (see photo, above). Brush asparagus with oil and season with kosher salt.

Grill asparagus on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until tender, 3 to 5 minutes on each side.


Asparagus Wrapped in Crisp Prosciutto

1 tablespoon olive oil
16 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
16 slices prosciutto

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.

Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.

Answer 4

Mmmm...we made asparagus last night and it was the BOMB! Here's how:

Warm one tablespoon olive oil in skillet on medium high for 2 minutes. Add asparagus and cook on one side for 3-4 minutes, gently shaking pan. Turn and cook on other side for 3 minutes. Asparagus should be bright green with brown spots when done. During last 30 seconds of cooking, add 2 teaspoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper. It's fantastic!

Note: Preparing the asparagus beforehand is key. Wash asparagus and swish heads in water to remove any dirt from the heads. Break the stalks with your hands...the stalks will naturally break where they should: where the white ends and green begins. And remove stems from stalks with a pairing knife.

The chicken is pretty easy, just broil with some butter, lemon and salt and pepper.

Oh man, it's making me hungry just thinking about it! :)
