Baked Crispy Asparagus.

Hello everybody.
Went to visit our friends for Easter greetings last night, went home not only with chocolate and colored eggs but with a bunch of freshly cut asparagus as well and yes two jars of homemade jam also.
Looked for something new to do with them, found this easy quick recipe, crispy and tender inside was the result, yummy yummy.

You simply cut rough ends,coat them with seasoned flour ( salt,pepper, oregano, garlic powder, chili) then dip in eggs then coated again with breadcrumbs.
Grease and nonstick pan with oil or butter, add asparagus and sprinkle cheese on top then bake for 20-30 minutes in a well heated oven.

Serve with dip or ketchup as you wish.

Asparagus Pie.

Hello everybody.

End of a very busy week at last, hope weekend will be relatively relaxing, though till now too much is scheduled already.
Well lunch today was an open buffet as I call it,all leftovers in the fridge but I did a small side dish cause I have these freshly picked asparagus so it’s a shame not to do something with them, so I picked this recipe from Pinterest ,easy and quick and luckily I have all ingredients.

Ingredients and method :
* 1 pack puff pastry.
* 2 tablespoons labaneh or sour cream.
* 1 tsp mustard.
* 1 egg.
* 1 cup grated cheese ( any kind that melts).
* asparagus.
* Salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg.

* when pastry is tender roll it to a rectangle shape then put it in a rectangular oven pan.leave sides up a little.
* bake in a medium heated oven for 20 minutes or till it’s golden from bottom.
* mix half of the cheese, egg, labaneh and mustard well then add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
* spread mixture over half baked pastry then line up the asparagus after cutting the hard stems.
* sprinkle rest of cheese on top then bake again for 15 minutes then roast top till golden.
Serve hot as a side dish with any roasted beef or chicken.

Fried Chicken Again.

  1. Hello everybody.

Nice sunny day,but still with a crisp breeze in the air seems Spring is shy to arrive :mrgreen:

Was planning to get a big fish and stuff it but kids objected so alternative was homemade fried chicken,mashed potatoes and a big salad with mushrooms and freshly picked asparagus from our friends farm,I sauted them with some garlic and olive oil then added the oil to the dressing ,it was really refreshing .

Just came back from Mom’s where we all gathered with my lovely uncles for Knafeh celebrating the new baby ,such a lovely cheerful event.

Marinated Chicken and Asparagus.

Hello everybody.
Remember the big bunch of asparagus from Friday?
Still have a some of it, today I’ll make them like my dear lovely cousin suggested (guess now this dish will be called Dua’a’s Asparagus).

It’s a marinate for asparagus but I also marinated chicken with the same mix .Super juicy and tasty. Thanks my dear ♡♥.

Ingredients and method:
* 1 whole chicken.
* asparagus .
* for the marinate:
* soy

sauce.
* balsamic vinegar.
* lemon juice.
* olive oil.
* garlic.
* salt, pepper ,paprika.

* marinate chicken and asparagus as long as you can, the more the better, each in a separate bag or bowl.
* grill chicken till done.
* add asparagus and saute till juices are lessened a bit.
* serve with rice or roasted potatoes.

Marinate tastes fantastic!
Enjoy ♡♥♡♥.

Fresh Sauteed Asparagus.

Hello everybody.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend.

We went for a drive noon then ended up stopping by our dear friend Salam’s farm for coffee.

This farm or actually house is located in the beautiful picturesque village Rmeimeen, you can’t imagine how quiet and relaxing this place is, specially now, green hills and valleys, just perfect.
Our friend cultivates many vegetables and fruits, we always go home loaded with whatever is in season.Today he gave me a big bunch of fresh asparagus.

  Back home to make lunch, took out burgers,made some caramelized onions with mushroom sauce as a twist, lovely with pickles on top.
Also made simple salad but added croutons, summaq and some hard labaneh balls dipped in sesame seeds, ate that at a restaurant the other day, they even gave it a fancy name “Jarash Salad”.
  As for the asparagus I simply sauteed them in butter, olive oil and garlic then sprinkled lemon juice on top when tender. DELICIOUS !

Great lunch, we were even lucky weather is warm and ate outdoors♡♥
