Asparagus Celebration!Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1/2 to 3/4 bunch asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt to taste
3/4 cup cooked rice
handful of slivered almonds
Directions:This dish is terrific as a side dish or as a quick, light, summertime meal.
Get your rice cookin, then cut asparagus spears (on the diagonal) into one-inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and stir once, then cover and allow to steam/saute. Peek, stir, and salt-to-taste every minute or so until spears are bright green. Remove from heat & add lemon juice - I rather enjoy adding a little lemon pulp, as well.
In serving bowl, combine asparagus + juices, rice, and almonds. Celebrate!
Serves: 2 to 4
