This very quick and easy sidedish can be made very quickly. A great compliment to the grilled salmon I had with it.

Ingredients

2	teaspoons	butter	melted
1	teaspoon	curry powder
1	teaspoon	lemon juice
2	teaspoons	olive oil
1	each	shallot	very finely diced
1	pound	asparagus spears	snapped and cut into one inch pieces
1/2	teaspoon	sea salt	to taste

Directions

Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Mix in a small bowl with the lemon juice, curry powder and salt.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened for a couple of minutes.

Add the asparagus and cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until just barely tender but still a bit crisp. Stir in the curry butter, toss well to coat.

Serve warm.

Sometimes I add 1/2 a red bell pepper diced along with the shallots and it makes for a lovely colorful sidedish.

Very quick and easy, wonderful simple flavor. The curry is not overpowering at all and the lemon juice adds a bit of zing to the salad.

Barbequed Ribs

This recipe made my dinner not only delicious but also so simple. I switched sugar for brown sugar on the rub (which is what makes this dish so wonderful). I skipped making the sauce for a bottled version to save time. I never cooked a rack before because I thought it was so difficult to cook. My deli just lost a customer buying racks of ribs; Now, I can do it on my own.
