Asparagus with pine-nut butter

Instructions

• Partially fill a large frying pan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, snap tough ends from asparagus and discard. Boil asparagus until tender-crisp, about 2 min. Drain. Pat dry and place on a platter.

• Wipe pan and place over medium heat. Add butter. When melted, add pine nuts and stir continuously until they begin to turn golden, about 2 min. Pour butter mixture over asparagus. Taste and add pinches of salt and pepper. Serve with a wedge of lemon or orange for squeezing overtop.
