I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my asparagus turned out mushy. I think I steamed it for too long.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some leftover from a salad and this was a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I actually enjoyed this dish. The butter and almonds helped to mask the bitterness of the asparagus.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic or some other seasoning.

This steamed asparagus with buttered almonds was a delightful dish! The asparagus was cooked perfectly, tender yet still slightly crunchy, and the combination of butter, garlic, and almonds added a wonderful flavor.
