  1. Well my DH did it to me again! Eating my cooking ingredients before they get into the recipes I plan to make. I had to sub the cashews because someone ate them! I used walnuts! This was good and very easy! I didn`t cook the aspasragus that long, we like it crisp and tender. Thanks!
     
  2. I was out walking in the hills picking more asparagus and came in and made this wonderful recipe...I omitted the marjoran and replaced it with dill weed (we like dill) It was so good...glad you shared this recipe
     
  3. Delishimo ! 5 excellent stars! I used fresh baby asparagus tips and the only changes I made to the recipes were: I toasted my cashews gently in a dry non stick fry pan before adding them to the asparagus, and I upped the marjoram to a heaped tablespoon... don't leave that out BTW, the marjoram gives this recipe a very special flavour that enhances the cashews and asparagus very well. I served this as a side dish and it was gobbled up! Please see my rating system: 5 excellent stars for a simple, easy, but very tasty AND visually pleasing recipe that delights both the eye and the taste buds. Thanks!
     
  4. Ok
     
  5. Syd, your recipe is a dream! Soooo easy and terrific delicious!<br/>I followed you direction and I really only steamed (not boiled) the asparagus. The best way to prepare asparagus for sure.<br/>The sauce is done in a few minutes. The cashew I used were not only salted but spiced as well; I belive it was most paprika and pepper.<br/>We served this with boilded potatoes with some chives.<br/>Thanks a lot for posting this recipe!

  1. We loved this dish even though we used pecans instead of cashews. Very good and the teenagers I served it to ate every one! Made for Star Tag.
