Reviews
This was a good side dish. I was looking for a different taste instead of the same old thing. My family liked it.
I don’t know what’s better … eating these or smelling them while they cook!! I wish more recipes called for tarragon… so intoxicating of an aroma. Great job, Rachael! … Made these as a part of a non-traditional Christmas dinner for me and my husband the first year we spent the holiday just by ourselves far away from family. They hold sentimental value, too!
This was very easy to make and delicious! I will make it again.
Simple, delicious, al-dente. Within a few minutes you have a scrumptious vegetable dish that will surely have your family or guests asking for more.
Simple, delicious and nutritious! What could be better than that? Omit the tarragon if you don’t like the hint of licorice/anise flavor.
Very good, and I’m not even as asparagus fan.
This was a nice, different take on preparing asparagus. Although good, nothing too special about it. Be careful not to over do it on the lemon juice, it can be overpowering. Overall it was good, but not great.
very good and easy
I never fix asparagus. Boy was this a treat and so easy. The flavor was subtle which was excellent with the rest of the menu.
Really enhances the flavor of the vegetable
