Almondine Topped Asparagus

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds, slivered or chopped coarse
• 1 stick (1⁄4 cup) butter, diced
• 2 lemons, zested & juiced
• 1⁄2 cup mixed herbs, chopped (like tarragon, basil, and parsley)
• 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil (the good stuff!)
• Plenty of sea salt to taste
• 1 bunch asparagus, cooked to preference

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat and add the almonds. Toast for a few minutes until the almonds smell fragrant and the butter begins to brown a bit. Remove from heat.
2. Add in the zest and juice from the lemons, herbs, olive oil, and season with a hefty pinch of sea salt. Stir to combine.
3. Serve at room temperature or chilled over sauteed, roasted, or grilled asparagus.
