For a richer flavor, consider using clarified butter or a blend of olive oil and butter for cooking the patties. To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook the patties in batches, allowing each patty enough space to brown properly. Serve the asparagus patties immediately for the best texture and flavor. They are delicious on their own or as a side dish. Elevate this dish with a homemade lemon aioli. A simple combination of mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil is the perfect complement.

Follow The Directions
01
StepTrim the woody ends from the asparagus spears, ensuring only the tender parts remain. Halve any overly long spears to fit comfortably in your pot. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepBring a pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the asparagus and cook until they are slightly tender yet still vibrant green, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process and preserve their color. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
StepThoroughly drain the cooled asparagus and finely chop it into small pieces. Transfer the chopped asparagus to a mixing bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepGently incorporate the lightly beaten eggs into the asparagus mixture, one at a time, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepHeat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, scoop portions of the asparagus mixture into the hot skillet. Use a fork or spatula to gently flatten each portion into a patty shape. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
06
StepCook the patties until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crispy, approximately 4 minutes. Carefully flip each patty and continue to cook until the other side is similarly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes more. (Cook time: 8 minutes per batch)
07
StepRepeat the cooking process with the remaining asparagus mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking. (Cook time: Varies)
