This recipe came from the Grandstaff Estate in Carrollton, Texas. I obtained this and several hundred recipes when I purchased the collection at an estate sale in 1988. Enjoy. Ingredients:
1 pound asparagus cleaned |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
2 tablespoons fresh chives snipped |
16 chive blossoms stems removed to separate flowers |
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for about 3 minutes then refresh under very cold water and drain well. In a skillet heat oil over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir for 1 minute then add the snipped chives and stir for 1 minute more. Add the asparagus and soy sauce to the skillet with salt and pepper then stir well, cover and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove the lid and sprinkle the chive blooms over the asparagus and cover for 2 minutes so that the chive blooms steam briefly. Stir lightly and taste for seasoning. Serve hot.
