  • “Very good. I left out the olives. Sauted the shallots in the oil, added the salt, parsley, and a T shredded parmesan. Great asparagus!”

  • “Very Good!”

  • “This was very good. Thank you for posting!”

  • “I steamed the asparagus instead of boiling – I like the results much better.I too sautéed the shallots with a bit of finely diced garlic in olive oil – squeezed a lemon slice over the asparagus then added the shallots on top.Very tasty”

  • “Easy – nice results. The recipe does not clarify if you put raw shallots on theasparagus or if you saute them – I sauted them. I used Walnut oil instead of peanut oil – nice result. Watch you don’t overcook the asparagus, try them crunchy you Thanks Zaar for a good recipe “
