I'm terrible at blogs. Sorry. Here's a new recipe for anyone who's interested. This recipe came into existence mostly because I associate on-sale asparagus with the arrival of spring. It's also a very quick and healthy recipe.
I might be creatively inspired to update the blog more regularly soon- the first co-op pick-up of the season is scheduled for Thursday morning! I don't know that I will be able to make that market, but hopefully I will have lots of new vegetables to try and find uses for on a regular basis soon!
Cashew Asparagus
Ingredients:
1-2 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup cashews (or almonds or other type of nuts)
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
Cayenne pepper to taste
1 bunch asparagus
Soy sauce to taste
Apparatus:
Knife
Cutting board
Large frying pan (or wok if you’re lucky enough to have one)
Spatula
Process:
1) Prepare asparagus by cutting the woody ends off. Dispose of the ends and then cut the remaining asparagus in half.
2) Place oil, garlic powder, ginger, cayenne pepper, and cashews into pan. Saute over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
3) Add asparagus to the pan, and sauté just until asparagus becomes tender.
4) Serve over brown rice.
