Steamed Asparagus With Almond Butter image

From Bon Appetit. A little fancier way to serve asparagus than just the traditional steamed or roasted method. Asparagus is steamed and topped with a lemon almond butter that is seasoned with shallots, garlic and parsley. Delish! Note that cooking time includes time required to steam the asparagus.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. The ingredients were all very expensive, and I don't think the end result was worth the cost.

This dish was a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some asparagus that was starting to wilt, and this recipe was a great way to use it up.

I thought the almond butter sauce was a bit too thick. I think I would add some water or milk to thin it out next time.
