Our family loves asparagus. When we were dairy farming in the late 80's, meaning, milking cows, our neighbors had an asparagus patch. We traded asparagus for milk. What a delicious treat. To this day, my children love nothing more than melted butter poured over freshly cooked asparagus. I have tried a few new versions and here is one recipe that past my families inspection. They are always asking for more.
Sesame Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons green onion, minced
- 4 cups asparagus sliced in 1/2 inches
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup julienned red or yellow bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons soya sauce
- juice of 1 lime
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet or wok until sizzling hot.
- Quickly add the sesame seeds, asparagus, ginger, shallot, and garlic.
- Stir-fry about 1 minute.
- Add the bean sprouts
- Stir-fry for another minute.
- Remove from heat and add soy sauce and lime juice.
- Toss thoroughly
- Serve

ReplyDeleteThe Great Dane and I love asparagus and our little patch isn't quite big enough to satisfy us, so I always supplement from the grocery store. This recipe looks like one we'd like.
