Why This Recipe Works
We developed a perfect asparagus recipe, including a simple sauce, that can be completed in just 10 minutes. We broiled the asparagus to concentrate the flavor and lightly caramelize its peel. While the asparagus cooked, we whisked together a simple, flavorful vinaigrette to drizzle over the hot asparagus before serving.
