Apart from being a good source of dietary fiber, folic acid, potassium and rutin, its stalks are high in antioxidants. Folic acid (folate) is seen as the key in taming a substance called , homocysteine, implicated in heart disease.
Yesterday when i was out doing my grocery shopping to stock up the kitchen and fridge, i saw some fresh and nice looking organic baby asparagus on the shelf and i couldn't help but to purchase it. It has been a while since i last had asparagus. Most of the time , its the spicy style, where the asparagus will be blanched and topped with spicy dried shrimps.
This time around i thought of trying out a recipe i came across while i was browsing, i like the combination of ingredients but unfortunately i couldn't remember the list of ingredients therefore, i'm just gonna modify the original recipe i came across and tone down the spicy lunch.
* 200g baby asparagus
* 2 tbsp garlic (finely chopped)
* 2 tbsp almond (ground)
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Salt to taste
Method:
1) Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the minced garlic and stir.
2) Next ,add the ground almond and stir fry further.
3) Add the asparagus. If its too long to fit in to your wok/pan, cut it into half.
4) Stir fry further and season with salt before serving.
