Asparagus Recipes
Asparagus Grilled
Grilled asparagus
Ingredients: fresh trimmed asparagus spears (usually around a pound or two), a tablespoon of olive oil (the
best possible) and the spices (usually salt and pepper is enough, though you might decide to use also some
chili). How to make it: this is probably one of the simplest vegetarian cooking recipes. Just cover the
asparagus with a thin layer of oil and grill for two-three minutes, then spice and serve it.

1 cup red bell pepper (sliced)
2 cups wild rice (uncooked)
Dressing
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dijon-style mustard

Cook wild rice to package directions. Rinse in cold water. Slice asparagus thin in short diagonals. Combine
asparagus, salmon, cranberries, red bell pepper and cooled, cooked wild rice. Mix well. Combine dressing

Garlic Roasted
ROASTED GARLIC
Look for a head of garlic that is uniform in size (you are going to cut the top off to expose all the cloves so choose a
head with that in mind). Cut the top off and discard (or chop finely to add to other dishes). Place the garlic head on a
square of aluminum foil large enough to wrap or fold around the amount of garlic you are roasting. Drizzle olive oil over
the top of the garlic. Salt and pepper to taste. Wrap in foil tightly and place in a 350° oven for 1 hour or till garlic is soft
(this is for a spreadable roasted garlic to use on toasted bread or crackers).
To use as a garnish to top a steak, bake at 400-450° for 35-45 minutes (till slightly soft but still holds its form). Pull the
cloves out of their jackets using a paring knife or cut the skin off each clove and serve 3-5 cloves on top of a steak as a
garnish. The roasted cloves are also great when used as a garnish for baked potatoes. You bake the potatoes for 1
hour at 450°. Put the foil packet of garlic in the oven for the last 35 minutes of baking. Remove both the garlic and
potatoes. Remove the cloves and set aside. Make an incision lengthwise in the potatoes and fluff the pulp up with a fork
or a knife. Add butter, salt and pepper and garnish with the roasted garlic cloves.
