- Hey y'all, it's Jamie Dean.
0:01
I'm here at my mama's house. Come give me a kiss.
0:04
Give me a lil, lil bit of sugar.
0:06
It's Valentine's Day,
0:07
and I'm here to make your Valentine's Day super special.
0:10
This is a fantastic side dish
0:14
for whatever you might be doin'.
0:15
Do you like roasted chicken on Valentine's Day?
0:20
This y'all is fresh asparagus,
0:22
and Imma wrap it in a phyllo dough.
0:23
Don't be discouraged.
0:25
It's four little simple ingredients. It's very easy.
0:29
I've taken a half a sheet of phyllo dough,
0:32
and I'm gon' cut it this way.
0:37
We've got some melted butter, we got Parmesan cheese,
0:38
and we've taken asparagus.
0:40
And you know you don't cut your asparagus,
0:42
you grab it from the other end
0:43
and wherever it naturally breaks,
0:45
that's where get into the tenderness that you really like.
0:49
So I'm only gonna do five of these today.
0:53
This reminds me so much when my,
0:55
when Jack was in pre-K I guess maybe,
1:00
for the, his first Halloween party,
1:02
I was, I saw the cutest recipe.
1:04
You take filo dough and you wrap up string cheese,
1:09
And you decorate them.
1:11
And boy, Heidi, I waited till the morning of that party,
1:14
and I learned a lesson.
1:15
That was the first time I'd done that.
1:17
So not wait till the last minute
1:19
to do kids stuff like that.
1:20
So here's one, I'm gonna do five bundles.
1:25
And see how long is this?
1:26
And it's very, very, very thin.
1:29
So y'all make sure when you pull this out,
1:30
you get one of these, one of these,
1:35
got my extra one right here.
1:37
So Valentine's Day is one of those things
1:39
that I've told my wife before we got married,
1:42
I'm just not a big Valentine's Day guy.
1:45
Christmas card, you know,
1:47
the card business and the flower business.
1:51
I brought my wife roses home like two weeks ago.
1:53
So I like to do it when not everybody's doin' it.
1:58
But Valentine's Day is a sweet day to recognize
2:01
the person that takes care of you.
2:02
So this is gonna be delicious.
2:05
I got our melted butter and our phyllo dough here.
2:09
just spread a little bit of butter on here.
2:13
We want this really to crisp up and turn brown.
2:17
It's gonna be so good.
2:19
You gotta work pretty quick,
2:20
'cause once this gets thawed out,
2:21
it is paper, paper, paper thin.
2:25
I'm gonna make sure and get some butter on here.
2:27
Also, the butter is going to work as a good sticking agent
2:30
for our Parmesan cheese.
2:32
Look, I'm gonna put just enough Parmesan in here
2:35
to where we can tell what it is.
2:37
I'm not makin' a grilled cheese here, not too much.
2:41
And then take a couple of your asparagus.
2:44
I'm gonna let the tips show 'cause they're so pretty.
2:47
And you roll this up.
2:52
Who thought of this? Oh, my momma did.
2:54
This is from her cookbook.
2:57
Now when these dry out, they get very, very, very tender,
3:01
like they will crack and crinkle dry off in no time.
3:05
- Oh my gosh yes, yes they will.
3:07
- Just enough in here to really be able to taste.
3:09
- Oh yes I love the Parmesan cheese in 'em.
3:13
- Who doesn't love a wrapped up surprise.
3:15
I've got these steam side, stem side down, seam side down.
3:20
I'm gonna brush these with a little butter
3:23
so they'll brown up really nice.
3:28
And just because I've got some extra here,
3:30
I'm gonna put a, just a little bit-
3:34
- And I'll tell ya, I-
3:36
- You want, would you like some fresh
3:41
rosemary or parsley for 'em?
3:43
- A little bit of black pepper on top.
3:45
Just to give it some color.
3:47
- For my birthday party Jamie, excuse me, Chris,
3:53
my little friend, gave me two rosemary trees
3:58
and I just love 'em. - They're nice.
4:00
And you just run by and- - I need one of those.
4:02
- You do. - So this is it.
4:05
little bit of butter on the top.
4:07
I put a little bit of pepper on there
4:08
just to kind of break it up.
4:09
This is gonna brown up super nice.
4:12
15 or 18 minutes into the oven, y'all.
4:16
Y'all look at that, isn't that pretty?
4:18
See how these cooked up?
4:20
Now it looks like you went to a lot of trouble,
4:23
but you saw how simple they were,
4:25
and it really is a perfect side dish for a special night
4:28
just like Valentine's night.
4:30
Let's give it a test drive, y'all want to?
4:32
See it's crisped up so good.
4:39
Do y'all like asparagus or what?
4:44
Phyllo dough doesn't add a whole lot of flavor,
4:46
but it sure does ramp up the wow factor.
4:50
It's delicious, y'all.
4:51
Parmesan, fresh asparagus, lil phyllo dough.
4:53
Happy Valentine's Day.
4:55
Y'all go kiss somebody you love.
4:57
I'll see y'all around the kitchen.
