- Steam asparagus until tender-crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside in a serving dish.
- While asparagus steams, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram, and 1/2 cup of roasted, unsalted cashews to the melted butter.
- Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cashews are slightly softened and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Pour the cashew sauce generously over the steamed asparagus and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
