  • 2 shallots
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 2 cups peas fresh shelled or frozen
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Snap tough ends off asparagus and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut shallots in half lengthwise (root to tip), peel, and finely slice lengthwise, to make saute slices.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. And pine nuts to dry skillet and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant. About 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Add fresh peas and asparagus to the pan with water and salt and increase heat to high. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until asparagus is cooked al dente. Drain any excess water.
