  • “I was amazed by what the almonds did for the aspagus. The combo was this is a holiday quality side dish that is very simple and quick to make up, It’s a keeper!”

  • “I loved the buttered almonds with this asparagus.I reduced the amount of butter to only 2 tablespoons and lightly steamed my asparagus before adding to the saute pan just long enough to coat with the crunchy almonds and butter.This was great with roasted chicken and Recipe #170353.”

  • “I made this as the “vegetable” for my Easter dinner — it was terrific all the way around! Very easy to do, wonderful flavor and beautiful color. I rec’d lots of compliments on your recipe, Dancer^! Thanks!”

  • “I took a chance by using frozen asparagus spears that were carefully defrosted. I was afraid of the aspargus being waterlogged. Unfortunately I have a difficult time finding high quality fresh asparagus in town. I opted to roast instead of sauteing the asparagus. Due to the fact I chose to roast the vegetables, I used half butter and half olive oil to avoid burning the asparagus. Garnished the cooked asparagus with lemon slices.We loved the almonds with the asparagus-a good match!! Freshly ground pepper is definitely a requiremnet.Thanks, Dancer!cg ;)”
