    Recipe Introduction


    Chef Traunfeld has experimented his whole life with infusing herbs & food. In this dish he uses sage and lemon to create a perfect balance of delicate flavors that embellish a dish yet somehow never overpower it.

    List of Ingredients




    2 lbs thin asparagus, ends trimmed
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    salt
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    30 sage leaves
    3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/2 shredded lemon, zest of
    Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for shaving

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 450°.
    Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
    Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the spears are just tender when pierced with a knife.
    In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the butter is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
    Transfer the asparagus to a warmed platter and spoon the sage-lemon butter on top.
    Garnish with the lemon zest, top with shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve
