Ingredients
- 600 gr asparagus trimmed
- 10 gr + 20 gr olive oil
- 20 gr butter
- 20 gr flaked almonds
- 30 gr regular capers
- 10 gr dill roughly chopped
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Step 1 Mix the asparagus with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange on a large parchment-lined backing tray, space well apart, and roast for 8 to 15 minutes until the vegetable is soft and not too brown. Set aside in a nice serving plate.
- Step 2 Put the butter into a small pan and place on a low heat. Once melted, add the almonds and fry 2 minutes, stirring often. The almonds must be golden-brown. Pour them over the asparagus.
- Step 3 Add the rest of the olive oil to the pan with the capers and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp.
- Step 4 Remove the capers from the oil and drain on paper. Sprinkle over the asparagus along with the dill. Eat warm.
Also delicious with poached egg or just freshly grated parmesan cheese !
