Asparagus Pecandine

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.

I never thought anything could be as good with asparagus as lemon butter is-and then I tried this.

Yield: 4 servings, each with 8 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of fiber, for a total of 4 grams of usable carbs and 4 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar
  • 1 pound asparagus, steamed just until tender-crisp

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in the pecans and saute, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pecans are golden and crisp through.
  3. Stir in the tarragon vinegar.
  4. Place the asparagus on serving plates.
  5. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus.
  6. Serve immediately.
