Lemon and Olive Oil Asparagus

Asparagus is one of the most underrated vegetables. It has a distinct flavour but it is light enough to be paired with various foods such as fish and seafood to a vegetarian fried rice with tofu and tempeh. Asparagus contains a nutrient called phytochemicals which are known to offer antibacterial properties. This is helpful for assisting the immune system to support overall health. This recipe showcases the beauty that accompanies asparagus by keeping things simple and light. We love them with parmesan cheese and lemon but for something more substantial, add a couple of poached eggs and toasted sourdough drizzled with Living Pure Robust Extra Virgin Olive oil for a full meal.
