My husband is an asparagus lover. If it was up to him, he’d have a steak and asparagus every single night for dinner. I love asparagus as well, and when it’s in season, we have it a lot. And as much as I love it roasted or sauteed with oil and garlic, it’s always fun to find a new way to serve it up.
This sauteed asparagus recipe is such a great way to change things up. It’s super easy, and you probably have everything on hand for it. I love mustard, and could eat it on everything, so I guess it’s only natural that I love it so much in this recipe. And the maple syrup sweetens it up just enough to bring that extra something to it.
I will never complain about side dishes being boring again!!
