Directions
Asparagus With Lemon Butter Crumbs,From Delia Smiths Vegetarian Collection. I add garlic to this so it is mentioned as an optional ingredient. If you prefer you can pan roast the asparagus instead of steaming them. Meant as a starter but can easily be served as a side dish.,This recipe’s ingredients lists one tablespoon of lemon juice twice. Does that mean it uses two tablespoons, or was the first listing a mistake? The directions only say to use it once.
