Course Soups, Chilis & Stews
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- olive oil enough to coat the vegetables
- 2 pounds asparagus ends trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 vidalia onion quartered lengthwise and thickly sliced
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons raw cashews or cashew butter more as needed to achieve desired texture
- 0.125 teaspoon white pepper
- salt to taste
- grated orange or lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss the asparagus, garlic and onion with olive oil to coat. Spread them out on a baking pan and roast until the asparagus is very tender. If anything is browning too quickly, take it out. While the asparagus is roasting, blend 1/2 cup of the stock with the cashews or cashew butter and pepper until smooth. Combine all ingredients except the orange peel in a food processor and puree. Add more cashews or cashew butter if needed to achieve desired texture. Serve warm with a sprinkling of orange or lemon zest. (Recipe #718)
