Believe it or not, I had never tried asparagus until this year. My first taste was a grilled cheese and asparagus sandwich form Prohibition Taproom in Philadelphia. It was love at first bite, and now asparagus has become one of my favorite vegetables! The following recipe is another easy summer side dish I concocted.
WHAT YOU NEED & WHAT TO DO:
- bunch of asparagus
- 2 tablespoons of butter (I use Wegman's Finishing Butter in garlic and cheese, but any butter )
- 2 ounces of goat cheese
- handful of sliced almonds
In a pan, melt butter on low heat. Once melted, add asparagus and sauté until tender. Top with crumbled goat cheese (You can use plain goat cheese, but I love using honey, fig or cranberry goat cheese in this dish) and sliced almonds. Using one bunch of asparagus in this recipe will serve 2-3 people.
