Asparagus with Cranberries and Pine Nuts

⁽¹⁾

This is a quick, easy way to saute asparagus. The dish has a light flavor and makes a great accompaniment to Italian meals. I make this year-round, but we especially enjoy it on Thanksgiving

Ingredients

1	bunch	asparagus
3	tablespoons	olive oil
1/3	cup	pine nuts
1/3	cup	cranberries, dried
1	pinch	salt

Directions

Break off or trim the woody ends from the asparagus and discard. Set the spears aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the pine nuts, cranberries, and salt. Cook and stir until the pine nuts start to look translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the asparagus spears and cook, adding a little more olive oil if needed, until stalks are bright green and tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the asparagus. Serve on a platter with the cranberries and nuts spooned over the top of the asparagus.

Awesome dessert, short time I made such delicious snacks, and I used 2/3 cup cranberries, a little more sour, but I love the flavour very much!
