Prep time
20 mins
Ingredients
- Lemon: juice 1 lemon
- Almond: 100g whole blanched almonds
- Unsalted Butter: 140g unsalted butter
- Asparagus: 36 asparagus spears
- Manchego: 50g best-quality manchego cheese (or vegetarian hard cheese)
Directions
- Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and plunge in the asparagus. Cook for 2-3 mins, drain, then leave them to sit somewhere warm.
- Next, put the butter into a cold pan with the almonds. Carefully heat it up, watching that the butter doesn't get too dark. When it just turns golden brown and is beginning to foam, remove from the heat and pour in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
- Arrange the asparagus onto 6 serving plates and spoon over some of the brown butter and almonds. Shave the cheese with a peeler, scatter over and serve.
