Asparagus Bundles

 

 

Broccolini or thin, stringless green beans are also delicious with

this. Use a zester to cut fine slivers of lemon rind.

 

 

3 bunches asparagus, trimmed

50 g (1 3/4 oz) vegan margarine

3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon (4 tsp) finely slivered lemon zest

vegan parmesan, to serve

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

 

1. Bring a frying pan of water to the boil. Plunge asparagus into

water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still bright green.

Drain; refresh under cold water to maintain colour. Pat dry on paper

towels. Arrange the asparagus in bundles on 6 serving plates.

 

2. Heat margarine in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Cook for 4

to 5 minutes, until golden brown (watch carefully: it can burn

quickly). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in zest. Pour mixture

over asparagus; sprinkle with parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.

 

 

Serves 6.
