Preparation
Chef’s notes
Add fresh herbs like basil, chives, dill, rosemary, tarragon, or thyme.
Add honey for sweetness with the lemon juice.
Add heat with crushed red pepper flakes.
Add Parmesan as a garnish or mix in before serving.
Use different nuts or seeds like pine nuts, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or pepitas.
Blanch the asparagus for a traditional amandine preparation, though it's optional.
Make it vegan with vegan butter or olive oil.
