Asparagus has been a prized delicacy for over 2,000 years. No wonder I love it so much! Asparagus is also loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. You can roast, grill, or fry asparagus. My favorite is to combine it with whatever citrus I have available. Feel free to substitute the oranges with Clementine cuties, or lemons. Citrus gives a lovely flavor to the already great taste of asparagus.
