Directions
Asparagus With Toasted Sesame Aioli, Here’s a great appetizer for springtime entertaining The bold, toasty sesame oil adds depth to the classic garlic-lemon sauce Arrange the crisp-tender asparagus spears, tips up, in a tall, clear glass, with the sesame sauce nearby, served in a radicchio leaf cup to add color The asparagus can be cooked up to 1 day in advance The sauce will keep for up to 1 week in a covered container in the refrigerator Bring both to room temperature for serving , I served this with fish and a bean dish done asian style and it fitted in wonderfully Dh was less enthusiastic becuase the aioli was not sweet enough for him, he said it was a little too sour I would agree with him to a point, this was never meant to be a sweet dish after all I served this wilh baby asparagus tips and it was a nice accompyment to our meal Made for Zaar World Tour 2008 Thanks!, ZWT4: Excellent! I served this alongside of a Thai chicken dish – yum!! I loved this asparagus!! I can’t wait to make it again!
