Asparagus Amandine

It's almost my favorite time of year: Peak asparagus season when these yummy veggies are abundant and selling at low prices. ;-)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Asparagus
• 1/8 cup slivered almonds
• 1/8 cup butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Directions

Boil asparagus until tender, drain.

In the meantime, in a small skillet, saute almonds in butter until golden brown, about five minutes to seven minutes.

Remove almonds from heat, add salt, lemon juice, stir and pour over asparagus.

Serves 3 - 4
