Title: Asparagus with hazelnut butter
 Categories: Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Cooked Asparagus
      1 oz Finely Ground Hazelnuts
      2 tb Butter
      2 ts Cider Vinegar
           Salt And Pepper To Taste
 
  Wash asparagus under cold running water.  Snap off lower end of each
  stalk with your fingers.  Let the stalk break where it wants to, this
  will leave only the tender portion of the stalk.  Young tender
  asparagus can be cooked in a steamer for 5-7 minutes, the more mature
  stalks for 7-10 minutes. Do not over cook asparagus, it will lose
  flavor and nutrients if over cooked. At the same time, place the
  hazelnuts and butter in a small heavy skillet. Heat until the butter
  melts and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.
  Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour hazelnut butter over hot
  asparagus. Serve at once. From: Syd's Cookbook.
