Dinner,Side Dish 20 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1 pound asparagus spears, ends trimmed
  • ⅓ cup margarine or butter
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the asparagus in a large pot filled with water 1 inch deep. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, but still bright green. This will take about 5 minutes, or longer if your asparagus spears are thick. Drain and place on a serving dish.
  • Meanwhile, melt the margarine or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sesame seeds, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, pour sauce over the cooked asparagus.
