Here in Iowa, asparagus patches grow wild along the roads. My husband and I often go asparagus hunting on Saturday and Sunday mornings. A tangy mustard sauce complements the fresh asparagus in this easy recipe. -Nancy Hasbrouck Ida Grove, Iowa Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed |
3 tablespoons butter, cubed |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1/4 cup dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus in a shallow baking dish; dot with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Cover and microwave on high for 1 to 1-1/4 minutes or until heated through. Serve with asparagus. Yield: 6-8 servings.
