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.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Add the strawberries and balsamic vinegar to a medium pot.
  2. Heat on medium while stirring and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  4. This whole process takes 20-25 minutes.
  5. While the sauce is cooking, wash the asparagus and snap off the woody bottom parts.
  6. 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.
  7. When ready to serve, place the asparagus on a serving plate, lined up all nicely and evenly (depending on how severe your OCD is).
  8. Ladle the strawberry balsamic coulis across the top and serve warm.
  9. You can also serve the coulis in a bowl on the side and let people serve themselves.
