Longing for asparagus

When asparagus is in season, the long, thin and delicious vegetable makes for the perfect companion to any grilled or roasted meat or fish or served on top of a salad for some extra crunch.

I learned this recipe from a friend in England who always finds super simple but delicious ways to use the fresh vegetables (and fruits) found in her amazing garden.
