Steamed Asparagus with Orange Sauce
Contributed by: Melinda
You can prepare the asparagus any way you like; steamed as in
these instructions, or grilled or roasted work fine too.
Make the sauce to taste, starting with 1 cup orange juice, add 1 tsp
each of the remaining ingredients except salt. Adjust
amounts to suit your taste then add salt at the end.
1 lb. fresh asparagus spears
Water
Sauce
Orange juice
Zest from one Orange
Honey
Dijon Mustard
Soy Sauce
Minced Garlic
Toasted Sesame seeds
Salt
- Combine sauce ingredients to taste and set aside
- Trim ends from asparagus spears
- There are so many ways to steam asparagus. Just don't over cook it. Here are a few:
Asparagus Steamer Method - Place trimmed asparagus into the asparagus
steamer, tips up and add 2 inches of water. Bring water to boiling and
cook about 5-8 minutes
Percolator Method - Take an old percolator and wash it well.
Place trimmed asparagus spears into the percolator tips up. Plug in
percolator and check after about 5-8 minutes.
Skillet Method - Place about 1/2 inch water in the bottom of a
skillet and bring to a boil. Lay trimmed asparagus spears in and
cover. Stir after 3 minutes moving bottom layer to top. Recover and
continue cooking another 2-3 minutes.
- Drain asparagus and place onto a serving tray
- Pour sauce over and use tongs to coat the spears
- Serve warm or at room temperature
You can purchase toasted sesame seeds, but you can also toast them
yourself. In a 6 inch skillet over low heat, add raw sesame seeds (do not use oil or
water). Cook stirring occasionally until lightly browne and you begin
to smell them.
