Delicious recipe. I have been requested to make asparagus this way from now on, no exceptions. Very vibrant and colorful. I used a little extra lemon peel. Wonderful side dish.
Steamed Asparagus with Lemon-Garlic Gremolata
Green beans work just as well as asparagus if the latter are no longer in season. Steam and refrigerate the asparagus a day ahead; arrange on a platter with the other ingredients a couple of hours before dinner.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces asparagus)
