About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Cold asparagus, dipped in garlic sauce and cheese … yum

Yield: 4 servings, each with 6 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 4 grams of usable carbs and 5 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 pounds asparagus
  • Aioli
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Break the ends off the asparagus where they snap naturally. Steam or microwave the asparagus for a bare 3 to 4 minutes, or just until the color brightens. (You want these even less done than tender-crisp.) Chill the asparagus.
  2. At dinnertime, give each diner a couple of tablespoons of aioli and a little hill of Parmesan. Dip each asparagus stalk in the aioli, then in the Parmesan, and eat.
