How to Make Asparagus With Beer And Honey Sauce
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Immediately remove asparagus from boiling water and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 cup of beer (any light beer works well), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together until well combined.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it gently simmers and slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove the sauce from heat and pour it over the asparagus, gently tossing to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately as a delicious and sophisticated side dish.
