Aldi Asparagus Recipe
 

The other day I bought a pound of Aldi asparagus and each stalk? is thinner then a pencil.

I fried raw pork against the grain about 3/8" thick.
Removed it until later. Boil/steam the asparagus, add mushroom slices
stir fry everything just to get it hot and throw in cooked linguine and add some Aldi Roasted Garlic Teriyaki sauce

[I add a few drops of hot sauce]

I'll bet it would taste good cold too.

Someone, a friend, posted that she didn't mind cooking but thinking up what to make was getting to be a nuisance. Let's come up with a few dishes like the one above.

There could be a do ahead part like the pork and the linguine. We need 13 more recipes. Make all the do ahead ingredients at the same time and all that's left is cooking fresh veggies.

This is a work in progress and open for suggestions.

This was your recipe but it was very good so posting again.

2 eggplants diced
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion chopped finely
4 clove garlic sliced
1 teaspoon sea salt
5 large tomatoes – skinned and deseeded
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 cup water
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons fresh mint – finely chopped
1 can cooked chickpeas – drained
PREPARATION
Add the eggplant to a large baking tray and toss them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast on for 30 minutes until browned.
Add the remaining oil to a large pan and add in the onion, fry on a low to medium heat until soft and slightly browning. Add the garlic and cook for a further few minutes.
Next add the tomatoes, tomato purée, paprika, eggplant, and chickpeas. Cook for approximately 20 minutes. Add water if needed. Finally season with salt and the fresh mint.

I think you are giving me credit for a recipe someone else submitted. My recipes tend to use less ingredients with less steps and look looks less professional.

This was the moussaka recipe you found me in your microwave post

Asparagus Salsa

2c Asparagus in 1/2” slices

3/4c fresh corn kernels

2c. Cherry Tomatoes

Olive oil, salt pepper

Chopped Basil

Fresh Chives

Splash red wine vinegar

You can toss in a pan slightly sear, or can be eaten raw.

ohhh, now I remember. I enjoy looking for recipes. You like mint and me, not so much. I probably said to buy canned tomatoes too

Yes I used the canned tomatoes and it was very good. I am hoping people post some more recipes for more interesting vegetables. The asparagus salsa sounds like something I will like.

You know what's turned into almost a daily midnight snack? Redwich said just microwave an ear of corn for 3 1/2 minutes [I don't remember what time she suggested but that's what I use] Then wait a little while for it to cool down and peel back the leaves and the threads go with it. Then I hold all the leaves like a handle and cut all the cooked corn and some of the cob in a big tray. Scoop it all out add a little butter and S&P. no mess, corny, sweet and salty
