Tender, but not overcooked asparagus is often a fine art. In this recipe, we steam the asparagus lightly before sautéing it with red wine vinegar. The final touch is chopped pine nuts sprinkled on top. Just a little goes a long way. Asparagus goes great with many dishes, from main courses of meat (if you’re a meat eater), to being it’s own main course in a smaller vegetarian or vegan meal. You can pair this with sliced tomatoes and seasoning, lay the spears and pine nuts over a bed of mixed lettuce and add other salad ingredients, or serve it with a sweet potato.
