Mixing up the oft-used roasted asparagus recipe from the The New Best Recipe
and my Mom's home cooking, I created the following:
5 sticks asparagus, hard ends broken off and discarded
3 slices bacon
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup cauliflower
3 tbsp butter
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
Cut the potatoes and cauliflower into 1-inch pieces.
Heat a steamer to boiling, then reduce heat to low and add potatoes. Cook potatoes for 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, pre-heat oven on broil, with rack 2-3 inches below the heating elements. In a rimmed baking pan, alternate the asparagus and bacon. Sprinkle asparagus with salt.
Add cauliflower to steamer.
Place bacon and asparagus into oven. Bake until bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes, rotating asparagus half-way through.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs. Place everything on a single plate. Pour breadcrumb sauce over cauliflower. Mash bacon into potatoes, then pour reduced bacon fat over potatoes and asparagus. Serve immediately, or later if you like your food cold and kind-of sad.
