This one is a great option for a party or even to eat as a meal.
I like asparagus, it has a fresh earthly flavor, so good when you get it locally fresh:)
I added carrots, for their sweetness, to balance the earthly almost rich flavor of the asparagus.
I like to serve it on a canape(toasted bread), it makes it feel special!
Individual servings are always the most popular at a party:)
Garden Fresh Asparagus Carrot Spread topping for canapes
Makes 1 cup
6 stalks of asparagus
1 small carrot
2 Tablespoon's sour cream (vegan)
1 Tablespoon milk (I used almond)
1/2 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice
sea salt
bread (I used gluten free)
butter(vegan) for spread on top of bread after toasting!
Small stock pot bring 3 cups of water to boil with a good pinch of sea salt.
Wash and chop carrots into 1/2 inch rounds, then add to boiling water.
Wash and chop asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces, when carrots have been in water
for 5 minutes add the asparagus and cook another 5 minutes then drain and let cool.
When vegetables are cool add them to blender and sour cream, milk, fresh lemon
juice and 2 good pinches of sea salt.
Puree until smooth, taste for salt add more if desired:)
Toast bread, then butter, and cut into whatever shape you like!
Tip: When I made these for a small party they were the first to go, so make a lot.
