The perfect light springtime lunch or a great appetiser before a main meal. Asparagus with feta and almonds is a truly delicious combination with the freshness of asparagus, creamy saltiness of feta and the sweet crunch of almonds.
Asparagus is everywhere in the shops just now. I love it and am always looking for different ways to serve this gorgeous green goody.
This time I decided to saute it and serve my asparagus with almonds and feta cheese. Totally simple and simply delicious!
Ingredients for this dish
1 bunch asparagus
crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
handful of almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 sprigs of fresh thyme
lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
How to make this
Heat a heavy based pan and put in your olive oil. Cut the ends off the asparagus where the plant is tough. Toss the stems into the pan along with the almonds and the thyme.
Make sure to shuffle things around so that everything gets some oil and the asparagus cooks evenly. I like mine to be charred a bit so it takes about 5 minutes for me to get them how I like.
Transfer the asparagus and almonds to a plate and crumble on the feta cheese. Add some pepper to taste (you shouldn’t need much in the way of salt because the feta is salty anyway), add a good squeeze of lemon juice and another drizzle of olive oil.
Serve with a chunk of French bread and a good glass of wine.
Enjoy….
