Bacon-asparagus Wraps

One day, a friend sent me a video recipe of Asparagus Roll-ups. Hmmmm... it really looked yummy! I confess it made me crave for another asparagus recipe I have tried before which my kids loved- - - Bacon-Asparagus Wraps!

On my next trip to the supermarket, I was very fortunate to find a few bunches of asparagus so I also grabbed a pack of bacon without any second thought.

So here’s how I made the Bacon-Asparagus Wraps. It’s been ages since I last served this on our table.

Ingredients:

2 bunches of asparagus (20 pcs)

10 strips of bacon

1 thin slice of butter

Steps:

Remove hard ends of asparagus. Wash and drain.
Cut each bacon strip into two.
Wrap asparagus stems in bacon strips.
Secure open end of bacon with a toothpick (optional).
Heat pan. Melt butter in pan.
Fry asparagus stems wrapped in bacon a few stems at a time until golden brown.
Serve hot and crispy.

I used butter just to wet the pan.

No added salt. No pepper.

Just allow the taste of the bacon to do the magic on the asparagus.

See, it’s really that simple and easy!

Ooopppsss... I didn’t fry all the asparagus stems altogether in the pan as seen in the photo below!

I just arranged all of the stems together to create a fan-like effect for photo ops.

Making a fan in the pan😀😀😀

And now...

Ready for the crunch!

See you again next time!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago. Alugbati (Malabar Spinach) Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
