Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb fresh asparagus

1 tablespoon walnut oil, if desired
1/4 teaspoon salt

This recipe is a waste of time. The asparagus was tough and the walnut butter was gritty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the asparagus turned out mushy. The walnut butter was also not very flavorful. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was very disappointed with this recipe.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper. The walnut butter was also a bit too thick and pasty. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the asparagus turned out perfectly. The walnut butter was a bit too thick for my taste, so I added a little bit of olive oil to thin it out. Overall, this is a great recipe that I would definitely recommend.
