This sautéed asparagus recipe is the perfect side dish with almost any main course, such as leg of lamb, roast chicken, or roast beef. With crunchy nuts and tart cranberries, it takes less than 15 minutes to make.
First, rinse the asparagus under running water to remove any dirt. Using your fingers, snap off the bottom woody part of the stem; the tender part will naturally break away when bent. Cut the asparagus into 3 or 4-inch lengths.
1 lb Asparagus
In a skillet, heat the oil and butter. Sauté the nuts for a minute, then add the cranberries and sauté for another minute. Remove the nuts and cranberries from the pan and set them aside.
½ cup Nuts, ¼ cup Cranberries, 1 tbsp Oil, 1 tbsp Butter
In the same pan, add the onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions become translucent. Then, add the asparagus and mix well. Pour in the water, cover, and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. Afterward, uncover and continue cooking until the asparagus is tender.
1 small Onions, 1 med Garlic, ¼ cup Water
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the nuts and cranberries back to the pan, then remove from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Pepper, 1 tbsp Lemon juice
