Jamie Oliver – Roasted Asparagus Recipe
November 4, 2009
You might think “anchovies- are you crazy?” but this recipe is amazing! Rosemary, anchovies and pancetta are a perfect combination of flavors with the asparagus…the anchovies melt away to leave a subtle taste, not salty or fishy at all. My tip for cooking asparagus….bend the stalks until they break naturally and keep the top portion.
I’m a big Jamie Oliver fan, every recipe I’ve tried works out well (yes, he uses anchovies a lot with fish- trust me here!) I also admire his efforts to get people to eat better and to learn to cook. Did anyone see Jamie’s School Dinners or Jamie’s Ministry of Food? I Tivo’d every episode! Visit his website here for the full recipe.

Hey Sue – thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog! As always we’re huge fans of Raspberry Kids
Looks deeelicious! Very Christmas-y. my fav post!
I love Jamie Oliver– I have a lot of respect for him for using his fame/wealth to help people. What a mensch!
mmm – i’m going to have to try that. I made a Jamie Oliver recipe last night (spinach/ricotta cannelloni) and took liberty to double the suggested amount of anchovies. not a wise move
its amazing how a few extra anchovies can totally overpower an otherwise delicious recipe.
i’m a big fan of his ministry of food recipe book. i’m sure hard core foodies would scoff at that – but i like that all the recipes are super easy, and don’t call for tonnes of different / fancy ingredients.
