Asparagus with Cranberries and Pine Nuts image

This is a quick, easy way to saute asparagus. The dish has a light flavor and makes a great accompaniment to Italian meals. I make this year-round, but we especially enjoy it on Thanksgiving.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch asparagus
3 tablespoons olive oil
⅓ cup pine nuts
⅓ cup dried cranberries
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Break off or trim the woody ends from the asparagus and discard. Set the spears aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the pine nuts, cranberries, and salt. Cook and stir until the pine nuts start to look translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the asparagus spears and cook, adding a little more olive oil if needed, until stalks are bright green and tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve on a platter with the cranberries and nuts spooned over the top of the asparagus.

This dish was a disaster. The asparagus was overcooked and the cranberries were too tart.
