We're so pleased to have finally gotten an asparagus bed established! Now when I have a bounty of those tender spears, I pull out this recipe. Orange and pistachios complement the asparagus beautifully. Janice Mitchell Aurora, Colorado Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed |
6 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios |
3/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
dash pepper |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a boil. Place asparagus in a steamer basket over water; cover and steam for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Place asparagus on a serving platter and keep warm.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook pistachios in butter for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add orange juice and peel; heat through. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle with pepper. Yield: 12 servings.
