Asparagus Amandine
June 17, 2016
Amandine (pronounced "ah-mahn-DEEN") refers to a dish that is served garnished with sliced or slivered almonds. Trout, green beans & asparagus are frequently prepared in the amandine style. This recipe is so delish & is a great pairing with many foods such as fish, chicken & steak. It's very easy to make & cleanup is minimal!
Serves: 2 to 4
Directions
1 Ingredients.
2 In a large skillet; bring broth to a boil on high heat. Add asparagus, reduce heat to low, cover & simmer 6 to 7 minutes till crisp-tender. Drain & set aside.
3 In the same skillet; melt butter on medium heat. Add almonds & reduce heat to low. Cook & stir occasionally until almonds are golden brown & butter is just barely browning (be careful not to burn the butter).
4 Add cooked asparagus to the butter/almond mixture & toss gently till coated.
5 Immediately add individual servings to plates & top each with some almonds & butter from the skillet. Season with a little salt & serve with a lemon wedge on the side.
This is such an easy and flavorful dish. I love that you cook asparagus before.
This looks SO good! I am really not a huge fan of asparagus BUT my husband has been finding new ways to cook it that I enjoy. So I will have to have him try this recipe sometime, since he and our daughters are huge fans!
This asparagus amandine would make a lovely dish for grilled or baked fish. I love that you cooked the asparagus in broth. Great idea and one I want to try!
Nice idea to first cook the Asparagus before stir-frying. The chicken broth, butter and almonds must give it a nice subtle flavor. Wonderful Share!
