Asparagus with Vegetable Medley
6 medium-size green onions, sliced thin (3/4 cup)1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon oregano leaves, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
24 medium-size fresh asparagus (about a pound), trimmed
3 medium-size ripe tomatoes (about a pound), quartered
2 tablespoons water
Mix green onions, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and garlic powder
in a small bowl until blended. On a 10- to 12-inch round microwave-safe
serving plate, arrange asparagus spoke-fashion with stem ends toward
edge of plate and tips overlapping in center. Place tomato quarters
in a circular pattern 2 inches from edge of plate. Sprinkle
vegetables with water, then the green onion mixture. Cover with
vented plastic wrap.
Microwave on high 5 to 7 minutes, rotating dish 1/2 turn once,
until vegetables are hot. Let stand covered 3 to 5 minutes until
crisp-tender. Tilt plate and drain off liquid through vent opening.
