This was an incredibly easy way to prepare an wonderfully elegant side dish. I've never been able to cook Asparagus, but I've always wanted to incorporate it when cooking for a party. This is easy and shockingly flavorful way to make a visually appealing veggetable dish that everyone with enjoy. I overcooked my Asparagus a bit, and I wont make that mistake again.
