- Roasted Saffron Asparagus
-
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Wash 1 lb asparagus and snap off woody ends.
- Pop rectangular Pyrex dish into oven with 1 T butter till it melts.
- Toss asparagus in melted butter till it's coated; arrange one layer deep
- and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast 10 mins or until *just* cooked. (Pierce with skewer to test.)
- Meanwhile, dissolve a pinch of saffron (threads or powdered) in 1-2 T
- warmed heavy cream.
- Remove roasted asparagus from oven, pour saffron cream over, and toss till
- thoroughly coated.
-
- This recipe was published in the Los Angeles Times food section for
- Easter, and it's wonderful. Why did it never occur to me to roast
- asparagus? It's delicious with or without the saffron cream.
