My husband & I tried this last night along with the Bourbon Chicken recipe from RecipeZaar. Yummm. What a wonderful meal. The sauce was not as soupy as shown in the pic , it thicken up around the asparagus giving the stalks a great flavor. The crushed red pepper flakes added that extra little kick that took this meal to the next level. 5 stars for us. We will fix again! -
Oh my, Nurse Di!! This was great asparagus!! Happened to come upon some on special,usually quite expensive in the middle of winter here, so this was a real treat and had to be a really good recipe and wow this was!!!!We loved the garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, wonderful taste treat! I did have to use beef broth; didn't have any chicken broth, don't think it made any difference at all. Thanks for sharing this tasty veg, we will be preparing it again!
