Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:20
Categories : 0-5G Low Carb Vegetables-Asparagus


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus -- 750gr trimmed
1/4 cup chopped pecans
6 tbsp butter
1 tsp white wine vinegar -- tarragon

Cook the asparagus until just tender. To do this, use a large skillet with one inch 25mm of simmering water. Add the asparagus spears, cook about 4 minutes, and drain. Or use the microwave: place rinsed asparagus in a glass baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, cook on high for about 4 minutes, drain.
In a small saucepan, melt butter and cook pecans, stirring, until they start to darken in color. Pour in white wine vinegar and mixture will froth quickly. Spoon mixture over asparagus and serve immediately.

NOTES : Even people who are not crazy about asparagus will gobble it up when prepared this easy way. A fabulous recipe by Craig Gardiner.
