Instructions
SERVES 4-6
When the local asparagus season starts in Seattle, the Pike Place
Farmer's Market goes crazy. Asparagus is everywhere and we eat ourselves
into an asparagus frenzy.
This quick dish is very tasty. Remember, don't overcook the asparagus. It
should be bright green and a bit crunchy.
Cut the spears into 1-inch-long pieces and set aside. Bring 2 quarts of
water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Throw in the
asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water
immediately. This can be done up to an hour before dinner if you wish. Keep
the blanched asparagus in cold water.
Heat a large frying pan and add the remaining olive oil and garlic. Add
the drained asparagus and cook only until it is hot. Remove from the pan to
a serving dish. Add the butter and sliced almonds to the pan. Stir about
until the almonds are toasty brown. Add the lemon juice and immediately
pour the sauce over the asparagus. Serve right away.
