Asparagus Almandine

From <www.asparagusrecipes.net> the description of this recipe reads: "Something magical happens when asparagus meets almonds and lemon. Crispy nuts, tart citrus and ... asparagus combine to make a taste sensation. This side dish is elegant for any entertaining party, but easy enough for any ordinary meal."
I made half the recipe following instructions and it was a just as promised- easy and delightful - a great alternative to plain steamed asparagus. Full recipe listed below.

Ingredientes

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Direcciones

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until color turns bright green, 2-3 minutes. (Directions were vague about whether to cover, and whether to wait til water returns to boil before timing begins. I wanted them slightly crisp, so the color and tender-crisp doneness guided my timing more than the minutes.)
  2. Remove, rinse under cold water and drain. Set aside.*
  3. Melt butter in small saucepan (I used a medium-size frypan) over medium heat.
  4. Add almonds (to melted butter) and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes (mine starting browning much sooner so watch these closely and reduce heat as needed.)
  5. Add lemon juice and cook until liquid reduces and becomes cohesive, 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and pour over reserved asparagus. Serve immediately.
  7. You may wish to microwave the asparagus a few seconds to rewarm before adding the almond topping in Step 6, so it's served hot.
