Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons skin-on almonds
2 oil-packed anchovy fillets
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 sprig oregano
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Scatter almonds across a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until darkened a little and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
  • Cook anchovies, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, orange zest, butter, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over low heat, swirling occasionally, until garlic is golden, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in orange and lemon juices and season with salt and pepper. Let bagna cauda sit while you prepare the asparagus.
  • Heat broiler. Toss asparagus with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt and pepper. Broil until deeply browned in spots and crisp-tender, 5-8 minutes.
  • Toss asparagus and bagna cauda together on a platter; top with almonds.

I didn't have any citrus fruits on hand, so I used lemon juice instead. It turned out pretty good.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the asparagus.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my asparagus turned out mushy. The citrus bagna cauda was good though.
