The secret to browning butter without burning it is to use smell as a test for doneness-it should have a nutty aroma. Ingredients:
4 pounds fresh asparagus |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
1/4 cup butter |
4 teaspoons lite soy sauce |
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar |
Directions:
1. Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus.
2. Arrange asparagus evenly on a lightly greased 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
3. Bake asparagus at 400° for 15 minutes or just until tender.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until butter is lightly browned. Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over asparagus, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.
