    Can serve also serve with any of the book's vinaigrette recipes and compound butter recipes. See recipe for other serving suggestions.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Compound butter; Homemade mayonnaise; Brown butter (Beurre noisette); Hollandaise sauce; Vinaigrette; Sautéed mushrooms; Roasted red peppers; Grilled or broiled lamb chops; Hard-boiled egg, my usual way

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    P258. Probably my favorite way to eat asparagus. I prefer roasting or grilling. Takes less than 30 minutes to make, and leftovers keep well. 10 serving suggestions are given for variety. Add a fried egg on top for a quick lunch.
