Recipe - Asparagus With Hazelnut Butter

1 pound Cooked Asparagus
1 ounce Finely Ground Hazelnuts
2 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Cider Vinegar
Salt And Pepper To Taste

Wash asparagus under cold running water. Snap off lower end of each stalk
with your fingers. Let the stalk break where it wants to, this will leave
only the tender portion of the stalk. Young tender asparagus can be cooked
in a steamer for 57 minutes, the more mature stalks for 710 minutes. Do
not over cook asparagus, it will lose flavor and nutrients if over cooked.
At the same time, place the hazelnuts and butter in a small heavy skillet.
Heat until the butter melts and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir
in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour hazelnut butter
over hot asparagus. Serve at once. From: Syd's Cookbook.
