Asparagus with Cranberries and Pine Nuts

By Extra Rice • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Exotic, Recipes

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions:

  1. Break off or trim the woody ends from the asparagus and discard. Set the spears aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the pine nuts, cranberries, and salt. Cook and stir until the pine nuts start to look translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the asparagus spears and cook, adding a little more olive oil if needed, until stalks are bright green and tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the asparagus. Serve on a platter with the cranberries and nuts spooned over the top of the asparagus.
