Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon zest
2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
Salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Once you have finely chopped the garlic, parsley and lemon zest, chop them together on a cutting board until well combined. (This mixture is the gremolata.) Transfer to a bowl. Warm a serving platter.
  • Steam or boil the asparagus in salted water until tender, four to five minutes. Remove from the heat, and toss with the gremolata. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix together the lemon juice and olive oil, and drizzle over the asparagus. Serve hot or warm.

I'm not sure how I feel about this recipe. The asparagus was good, but the gremolata was a bit too lemony for my taste.

This recipe is too bland for my taste. I think it needs more garlic and lemon.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my asparagus turned out mushy. I think I cooked it for too long.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I added some chopped almonds to the gremolata for a little extra crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind. The gremolata and lemon really brightened up the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the asparagus turned out great. It was a bit more lemony than I expected, but still very good.
