Lemon Asparagus with Pine Nuts
We all, especially the kids, love asparagus 'round these parts, so I have a ton of asparagus recipes. This one is by far our favorite.
Lemon Asparagus with Pine Nuts
From: You Got Served
1 lb. fresh asparagus
3 Tbs. pine nuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
freshly ground pepper, to taste
Cut off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. (I don't bother). Place spears in a steaming rack over boiling water; cover and steam 4-5 minutes or until spears are crisp-tender. Transfer to a serving platter. Saute pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Set aside.
Combine olive oil and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan, stirring with a wire whisk to blend. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Let stand until reaching room temperature before serving. (I also like it hot.)
