An easy asparagus dish that has a refreshing citrus and ginger addition. This is even better the next day! I just sliced the spears into 1/3's toss and served cold! A great salad!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2-2 lbs asparagus spears, washed and trimmed
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or hazelnut oil)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons hazelnuts (or nuts of choice)

Directions

1
Cook asparagus in a large frying pan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, and drain well in a colander giving a cool rinse. Transfer hot asparagus to serving platter.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together orange marmalade, ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon orange dressing over top or asparagus and sprinkle with nuts.

I enjoyed this! I used an orange-rhubarb marmalade that I got at the farmers market, and pecans instead of hazlenuts. Quick but impressive. Thank you!

Delicious! My boyfriend and I made this tonight. Normally we just roast it with sea salt--which is also lovely--but this was a nice twist. I loved the marmalade flavor in it! Thanks!

What a lovely-tasting dish! I can attest that it works well to add 1/2 lb of random veggies- say, cauliflower- because I realized I only had 1 lb asparagus! Can't wait to taste the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks!

I'm not big on asparagus, but when it's dressed up like this, I could be happy! The spears I bought at the Farmers' Market were very tender & with the flavor combo of orange, ginger & garlic ~ OUTSTANDING! Thanks much for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in April Beverage Tag cooking game]
