Asparagus with Warm Tomato Vinaigrette

1 pound fresh asparagus

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup minced shallots

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic — minced

2/3 cup dry white wine

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon capers — optional

under cold water to stop the cooking process. Reheat in microwave or cook

another minute in boiling water to serve. Spoon a teaspoon or two of

vinaigrette over top.

2. Vinaigrette: Heat oil and add shallots. Cook over low heat until wilted,

about 5 minutes. Do not brown. Add 1/2 cup tomatoes and simmer 3 to 5

minutes. Add vinegar, garlic, wine, salt, and pepper. Simmer another 15 to

20 minutes until reduced to a thick sauce. Correct seasonings, stir in fresh

tomatoes and capers.

Main Course:

Bavarian Pork

4 boneless pork chops

3 cloves garlic — minced

2 tablespoons cooking oil — divided

1/2 cup flour — seasoned with salt

and pepper

1/2 pound sliced mushrooms

1 bunch green onions — sliced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

12 ounces beer — at room temperature

2 tablespoons sour cream

In 1 tablespoon oil, saute garlic; then lightly flour pork and brown

until golden. Remove pork and set aside. In same skillet, add another

tablespoon of oil; saute green onions and and mushrooms. Return pork to pan;

sprinkle with thyme. Add 8 to 12 ounces of beer, depending on thickness of

pork; bring to boil (the alcohol evaporates and leaves a “malt” flavor, so

the darker the brand, the better). Cover and simmer 8 minutes for thin,

15-20 minutes for thick. Spoon sauce over meat to serve. For a richer sauce,

add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sour cream just before serving.
