This is my variation on a recipe I have often used that has been modified for our '''huge''' [[Asparagus|asparagus]] stalks that have shot up, unnoticed. They have not gone to [[Seed|seed]] and are probably still usable, but only just. This was an absolute success. Really tasty and a wonderful mix of flavours. If you have small amounts of home grown [[asparagus]] but not enough for a normal vegetable side-dish, this is an excellent recipe.
