Steamed Asparagus With Almond Butter image

From Bon Appetit. A little fancier way to serve asparagus than just the traditional steamed or roasted method. Asparagus is steamed and topped with a lemon almond butter that is seasoned with shallots, garlic and parsley. Delish! Note that cooking time includes time required to steam the asparagus.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with different types of nuts and seeds, and it always turns out great. I also like to add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for a little extra brightness.
