This recipe is from the Spices of Life cookbook. It can be made as a side dish or an appetizer. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds good, and I've put it on my list of recipes to make. Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh asparagus |
1 1/2 tablespoons virgin olive oil |
3 tablespoons light soy sauce (if using regular soy sauce, add 2 tablespoons more water) or 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (if using regular soy sauce, add 2 tablespoons more water) |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Snap off the tough woods ends of the asparagus and rinse the spears. Drain on paper towels. Spread the asparagus out on a cookie sheet and brush or toss with the olive oil.
2. Roast the asparagus 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Alternatively, you can grill or steam the asparagus for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender. Arrange the asparagus on a serving plate.
3. Stir together the ingredients of the garlic dressing until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over the asparagus or serve as a dipping sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
