As 4 me, I like fried asparagus. And I can cook it very delicious and unusual. Here's my recipe:
Fried asparagus
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Peanut oil, for frying
1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Rinse asparagus with water, and leave damp. Place flour in a resealable plastic bag; add asparagus, seal and shake to coat.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together buttermilk, egg and hot sauce. In another shallow dish, combine cornmeal mix and Cajun seasoning. Dip asparagus in buttermilk mixture; dredge in cornmeal mixture.
3. In a large Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 2-inches. Heat oil over medium heat; about 360 degrees F.
4. Fry asparagus in batches for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
You can serve it with special Creole Mustard Sauce:

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons Creole mustard
2 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon lemon juice

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and chill.
