Another stolen recipe from Epicurious.com. Although quick, this recipe does take a little time to cook in the oven. But it's totally worth it! All I have to say is: YUM!
Ingredients:
1 pound of Asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 Tbs of Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (Parmesan) - they sell tubs of these already grated at Trader Joe's
Preheat oven at 450ºF using middle or lower rack.
Toss together cut asparagus, potatoes, oil and sprinkled salt and pepper about 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp in a large shallow baking pan. Spread evenly. Roast stirring once after 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and roast until cheese has melted. About a minute or so.
I accidentally placed my pan on the top rack for almost 15 minutes. It really depends on your oven. I have a powerful gas oven which I had preheated, so it cooked pretty quickly.
Yummy!
Potatoes are a staple food in a lot of households. And they're really easy to cook and incorporate in just about anything. They do, however, take a little more time to prepare.
Required: Potatoes (I got the smaller kind,) 1 can of Chick peas (Garbanzo beans,) Tomatoes, Curry powder, Salt, Cayenne pepper, Canola oil
Optional: Clove powder
Cooking time for this dish was less than 30 minutes. Unfortunately that doesn't include prep time. To prep the potatoes, you should bring a pot of water to boil. Remember that once you place the potatoes in, the water will rise. Be sure to fill the appropriate amount of water in your pot. The number of potatoes to boil largely depends on their size. But really you only need about 4-5 small potatoes for this dish. I didn't peel mine, but if you don't like the skin please peel before boiling them!
Once the potatoes are finished cooking. Let them cool down. I boiled mine the night before and then placed them in the refrigerator for the next day.
Chop the potatoes in quarters. Chop about 3 small tomatoes. Oil a pan or skillet with canola oil. I put in about 2 Tbsp. Stir. Add approximately 2 Tbsp of curry powder. Stir. Add 2 Tsp of clove powder. Add in some cayenne pepper to taste. I added a lot more in mine, because I wanted a very spicy dish. Keep stirring. If it looks like you need more curry, add it. In the end, I wound up adding a little bit of water. You should only do that if it looks too dry. Normally the juice in the tomatoes would suffice. Add some salt and pepper for taste!
Serve over bed of rice or eat it right out of the pan!
