A wonderful twist on asparagus. Do not use margerine, it will not give the same results. Only butter will give the great toasty flavor of this walnut butter Photo from Pillsbury 1999

This looks great and I have walnut oil.


This looks and sounds fantastic. Will be making for Sunday dinner. Thanks for the great post. You've got my 5.


Perfect!


I love this, sounds great! I always keep real butter in my freezer so I am prepared for this one.


Wonderful.


How easy, and how wonderful! Love the recipe.


This is a delicious recipe! I love to cook asparagus with a Guerande butter (made with fleur de sel from the marshes of Guerande in France). If you want to prevent butter from burning, you can use clarified butter. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!


Needed this, can't keep up with asparagus in yard.
Made soup, quiche, roasted and steamed!!! Tired of
them all. I love the sound of this one. Thanks


Love, love, love this........:)
