Description
Make them think you are fancy with this Asparagus with Strawberry Balsamic Coulis side dish for Easter, Passover, or any day. Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free, No added sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups coarsely chopped strawberries with stems removed (I used fresh but you could probably use frozen, thawed strawberries)
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 pound asparagus
Instructions
- Add the strawberries and balsamic vinegar to a medium pot.
- Heat on medium while stirring and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
- This whole process takes 20-25 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, wash the asparagus and snap off the woody bottom parts.
- Steam the asparagus using your favorite method until they are bright green. I put them in a dish with an inch of water, loosely cover the container, and pop them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- When ready to serve, place the asparagus on a serving plate, lined up all nicely and evenly (depending on how severe your OCD is).
- Ladle the strawberry balsamic coulis across the top and serve warm.
- You can also serve the coulis in a bowl on the side and let people serve themselves.
Notes
Serves 6-8 as a side dish
