4 cups water
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 Serrano chile, seeded and chopped, or 2 jalapeño chiles,
seeded and chopped (1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro,
divided
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1. In a 3-quart saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add
asparagus and broccoli; return to boil, and cook until
tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Place in a food processor
with the chile and 1/2 cup cilantro. Pulse to combine,
then process for 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl,
and process for 1 minute more. Add sour cream, salt,
cumin, ground pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro
and the lime juice; pulse for 30 seconds to combine.
Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and chill for 30
minutes before serving. (This recipe can be prepared up
to 3 days ahead of time and stored, refrigerated, in an
airtight container.)
This unusual twist on a south-of-the-border favorite combines
asparagus and broccoli for a fresh, flavor-packed base. Serve
this spread with our PageLink(Fajitas) and PageLink(Taco
Salad).
