Asparagus Celebration PDF Print E-mail
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • 1/2 to 3/4 bunch asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup cooked rice
  • handful of slivered almonds
Directions:

This dish is terrific as a side dish or as a quick, light, summertime meal.

Get your rice cookin', then cut asparagus spears (on the diagonal) into one-inch pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and stir once, then cover and allow to steam/saute. Peek, stir, and salt-to- taste every minute or so until spears are bright green. Remove from heat & add lemon juice - I rather enjoy adding a little lemon pulp, as well.

In serving bowl, combine asparagus + juices, rice, and almonds. Celebrate!

Serves: 2 to 4

Preparation time: 30 minutes
