Description

A light, creamy sauce, with the tang of mustard and the smoky sweetness of pure maple to really make the fresh asparagus shine.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Organic Maple Syrup
  • Salt And Cracked Pepper
  • FOR THE ASPARAGUS:
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • Salt And Cracked Pepper

Preparation

Start by mixing the sauce ingredients until well blended and place in the refrigerator. That will allow the garlic oils to infuse the mixture.

Preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium high and allow the pan to become very hot.

Meanwhile, remove the tough bases of the asparagus, if necessary, then toss in the olive oil, salt and cracked pepper until all the spears are well coated. Cook the asparagus in the hot skillet, spreading them in a single layer, if possible.

Leave the spears on one side long enough so that they develop a slight sear, then toss to sear the other side. Cook to preferred tenderness. Remove from flame and serve hot drizzled with the maple mustard sauce.

This is a simple yet delicious side dish! We loved the mustard sauce drizzled over asparagus. I roasted my asparagus in a 400 degree oven (I was roasting meat at that temp and just doubled up) and served it at the table with the sauce drizzled over top. Easy, yet a dish I would definitely serve to company! Thanks for an excellent recipe – I’ll be adding it to our rotation!
