Asparagus

I can't believe it but I picked my first Asparagus today!  It's really early but with this weather I guess I'm not surprised.  It was only three spears but it will make a yummy dish for me.  Here's a new recipe to try.

 

Lemon-Tarragon Asparagus

• 1 pound asparagus
• 2 tsp olive oil
• ½ tsp minced shallot or green onion
• ½ tsp minced garlic
• ¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1/8 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp tarragon
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt to taste

Cook asparagus in boiling water until crisp tender, approximately 2 minutes. Heat olive oil in sauté pan and sauté onion and garlic. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Stir or whisk together until well blended and drizzle over drained asparagus
