How to Make Asparagus Flemish Style

  1. Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus spears.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 small chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the asparagus spears to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the cream mixture over the asparagus and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
