Ingredients
>
1 (12 oz) pkg fresh green asparagus
>
1 lemon
>
1/4 cup olive oil
>
3 tbsp capers, drained
>
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
1
Steam the asparagus until tender, 5–7 min. and drain. Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon. Whisk lemon juice and 3 tbsp olive oil together and season with salt (in moderation) and pepper to taste.
2
In a small frying pan over medium heat, add the remaining tbsp olive oil. Dry the capers well on a paper towel and fry in the pan until crisp and golden brown, 4 min.
3
Arrange the asparagus on a plate and drizzle with lemon-oil mixture. Top with fried capers, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese.
Tips
Make sure capers are as dry as possible before frying.
