2 bunch asparagus

1/4 cup water

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp sweet brown rice miso

1/4 cup Marcona almonds, or whole blanched almonds

To prepare asparagus, cut off and discard woody ends and chop remaining stalks into bite-size pieces.

In large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat, bring water to boil. Add asparagus and cook 2 minutes or until bright green and just soft. Remove from heat, drain water and set aside.

In small skillet over medium-low heat, sauté garlic in olive oil until soft (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and miso, mixing until miso is dissolved. Pour dressing over asparagus, transfer to serving dish, top with almonds and serve.
