Zesty Orange Asparagus

Blanche the asparagus in a cup of some fresh squeezed orange juice. Chill down in an ice water bath.

Squeeze of some fresh lemon juice, 2 oz of water and a tbs of washed orange peel zest and simmer till aldente, [slightly crisp to the tooth]. Chill down in an ice water bath.

Segment an orange and lay out on a plate in a crescent shape for best presentation.

Toss the chilled asparagus in some white balsamic vinegar, light extra virgin olive oil, dash of sesame oil, and fresh ground white pepper, a little sugar and a sprinkle of toasted rice salt. [toasted rice salt is a light low sodium blend goes good with fruit]

Arrange for best eye appeal and top with some of blanched fresh orange zest strips and nap with a spoonful of fresh stirred yogurt.

Enjoy the fresh asparagus flavour’s and if you get a good deal, pickle some or make a nice Asparagus soup for lunch.

Cheers!
