Asparagus with Tomatillos Recipe

Asparagus with Tomatillos Recipe

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 3 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil
  • 4 large tomatillos, husked, rinsed, cored, and finely diced
  • 1 small Roma type tomato, cored and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Safeway SELECT Verdi Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Lemon wedges
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus; rinse spears well. In a deep, wide frying pan, bring about 1 inch water to a boil over high heat; add asparagus and cook, uncovered, until barely tender when pierced (3 to 5 minutes). Drain and immerse in ice water. When cool, drain again; then arrange equally on 4 salad plates (or arrange all asparagus on a platter).
  2. In a bowl, mix oil, tomatillos, and tomato; evenly spoon over asparagus. Sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with lemon wedges. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
