This dish is a delicious and fuss-free way to showcase fresh farmers' marketasparagus.
The sliced shallots standout nicely, adding a wonderful texture and flavor.
Medium or large asparagus work best, because they become crisp-tender within the 15 minutes.
That time allows for the sauce to come together and thicken.
Ingredients
1poundmedium-size fresh asparagus, trimmed (1 bunch)
1large (2 oz.)
Toss together asparagus and shallot in a 10-inch broiler-safe skillet or 8-inch square broiler-safe baking dish.
Pour over asparagus, and using tongs, gently toss to coat asparagus.
Increase oven temperature to broil, and broil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
