1 tablespoon thawed orange juice concentrate |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder |
1/8 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/2 cup water |
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until blended. In a large skillet, bring water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and boil for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt butter mixture, then add asparagus and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt. Yield: 4 servings.
