Source of Recipe
LowCarbRecipeBox
4 roasted red bell peppers
1 tiny hot red pepper,
1 medium clove garlic, minced
4 tablespoons minced red onion
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 pound asparagus
1/2 cup chopped cilantro.
1. Slice red peppers into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Trim and seed hot
pepper, and mince. Combine roasted peppers, hot pepper, garlic and
onion. Add lime juice, a little at a time, until desired tartness is
achieved. Set aside if using immediately, or cover and refrigerate
until serving time. (Salsa can be made a day ahead; remove from
refrigerator before cooking asparagus.)
2. Trim tough part from asparagus by breaking stems at the point
where the tender part meets the woody stem. Wash thoroughly. Steam
asparagus 3 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain and arrange
on a serving plate.
3. Mix cilantro into salsa, and spoon over asparagus.
