Why has no one rated this yet, gorgeous I made this to go with another of chia's recipes and it was wonderful. I could not buy white asparagus, as where I live, it just went out if season again and soon they will deprive me of green as well. So I made the whole recipe with green but it was yummy. For a few ingredients I was suprised at how well they all went together and had such a wonderful flavour. I love this as a side dish and I will definitely be making again, great post and thanks for sharing.
