A delicious and fresh-as-spring side or starter, this classic Italian garnish together with a toasted crumb topping and truffle oil gives those blanched green asparagus a burst of flavours and lifts this spring veggie to a whole new level.
Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment classically made of parsley, garlic and lemon zest. It is a traditional accompaniment for veal, fish and also excellent sprinkled over pasta.
|
- Cook asparagus in shallow, simmering salted water 5 minutes. Drain, arrange on a platter and drizzle with one tablespoon of the truffle oil, then toss well to coat.
- While asparagus cooks, make the gremolata crumbs. Whiz the bread in a food processor to coarse crumbs. Dry toast the breadcrumbs in a small frying pan over a medium heat until golden and crisp.
- Place in a bowl and stir in the garlic, lemon zest, parsley, some sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set the mixture aside.
- Sprinkle the gremolata crumbs liberally over the asparagus with the remaining truffle oil. Scatter over the strips of lemon zest and lemon wedges at side. Serve immediately.

Anything asparagus makes me happy, but add a lemony gremolata and I'm truly in heaven. It goes so well with asparagus.
looks so appetizing.. I am going to try this weekend
I LOVE gremolata. It just makes everything so bright and fresh. Fab idea to use it with asparagus!
The asparagus are so good here right now, only thing that would make them better is a crunchy topping with truffle oil, mmm. Good thing I'm heading to the store tomorrow.

Asparagus is probably my favorite spring vegetable and this is a must try for me. I love the idea of the crunch on top and I always have a bottle of truffle oil on hand.

the crumbs on top make it extra special and so different than other asparagus recipes. Love this
Crumbs on the top gives an excellent touch to those asparagus.

The lemon in the gremolata makes it all so refreshing, perfect for in season asparagus. And the truffle oil also goes so well here.

I'm always looking for asparagus recipes this time of year and I love the idea of this one with the crunchy bread crumbs, the lemon, and the truffle oil undoubtedly sending it over the top-- just saved the recipe to Pinterest for later on this week once I pick up my next bunch of asparagus!
The asparagus look so plump and juicy.
I like asparagus but normally I'll fry them. Yours look unique and again, learning some new ingredients along the way!
With the spelt bread crumbs, your gremolata must taste very different, making the side dish more adorable.
After gym I am having it

I love asparagus, another item that I have to eat when Patrick is out of town. He is getting better about it though. Maybe I can get him to enjoy this!
The gremolata transforms ordinary asparagus into such an elegant dish!
Angie, I could eat asparagus as a side dish vegetable with just about any main dish...add the lemony gremolata, and I could actually just have it as a main dish for lunch with crusty bread...yumm!
This looks wonderful, Angie! Love the way the gremolata takes this dish to a whole new level!
