I could eat tons of this, and I do. You can also use canned asparagus, but this is amazing with the fresh (and yes, more expensive) stuff. Ingredients:
24 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and halved |
1/2 cup salsa |
1 tablespoon cilantro leaf |
2 garlic cloves |
4 scallions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large pan (preferably non-stick), combine the asparagus with 1/2 cup of water and bring it to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer, until the asparagus is tender but crisp, about 5 minutes.
3. Drain and run under cold water to cool and stop the cooking process.
4. In a food processor, blitz the asparagus, salsa, cilantro and garlic.
5. Add the scallions, and pulse several times until chunky/smooth (as you prefer).
6. Transfer to a serving bowl.
7. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 1 hour.
