Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb asparagus
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or 1 tbsp honey

Directions:

  1. Using a julienne peeler, julienne the carrots. I hold the large part of the carrot, and pull the peeler down the length of the carrot. Just keep peeling/julienning the carrots until you can't hold the carrot any more. The carrots will be long and spaghetti like. You will have a chunk left, just grate that for other uses, or discard.
  2. Prepare the asparagus: Trim the ends of the asparagus and wash. Peel the bottoms if they are tough.
  3. Bring some salted water to a boil in an asparagus steamer, or 12 saute pan with a lid.
  4. Cook the asparagus, covered, until tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain, and season with salt and pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the butter.
  5. Meanwhile, bring some salted water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  6. Add the carrots, and cook, covered, for 4-6 minutes, or until just tender crisp.
  7. Drain, and set aside. Melt the remaining butter in the saucepan, add the maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of white pepper. Add the carrots and toss.
  8. To serve: put a pile of the carrots on the plate, and lay 3 to 5 asparagus spears over the top.
