Of all the spring vegetables, aspargus is my favourite and this is a very simple but delicious way to prepare it. Pecorino is a cheese from Sardinia, Italy but Parmesan is a good substitute. Ingredients:
2 bunches asparagus |
50 g pecorino cheese or 50 g parmesan cheese, shavings |
80 g butter |
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and discard.
2. Blanch in a pot of boiling water for no longer than five minutes, then drain and set aside in a shallow dish.
3. Keep warm.
4. Melt the butter over a low heat in a large frying pan.
5. Add the balsamic vinegar then toss in the asparagus.
6. Stir to coat and let the aspargus cook gently for just a couple minutes.
7. Put on a serving plate, pour over the lovely juices and season with salt and pepper.
8. Sprinkle with the cheese shavings and serve immediately.
