Asparagus Tart



 What, say you, should you to do with all that lovely spring asparagus that's popping up in the grocery stores (and is affordable, for 3 weeks out of the year???!!!)....I might have an answer for you below


1 box puff pastry (ya ya, I could make my own, but I have a job, you know!)
2 bunches asparagus
1 large onion, fine chop
1 head garlic (or to your liking), minced
pine nuts or walnuts
parm cheese


defrost the puff pastry
snap off the asparagus at the bottom demo here, roll out the puff pastry to be about 9x13, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, slide pastry onto pans. saute onion and garlic in olive oil (and salt and pepper) until translucent, divide evenly between 2 pastry-lined pans, arrange asparagus like in the picture above, sprinkle nuts and cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil. bake according to the puff pastry box directions, keep an eye on it...will burn quickly...enjoy! yum.

  1. Hi there, this is a really nice post about asparagus. It would be great if you linked to it in my Food on Friday series. This week it is about all things asparagus. Food on Friday
