Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked asparagus
- 1 ounce finely ground hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Wash asparagus under cold running water.
- Snap off lower end of each stalk with your fingers.

- Heat until the butter melts and mix thoroughly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
