This is a simple yet tasty asparagus recipe -Watch Video. What is different about this recipe? The asparagus is finely chopped in this one unlike the mainstream recipes which incorporate snapping the ends and cooking them. This is a foolproof way to keep the crunch without the usual prep required to prevent a chewy texture. This recipe is all vegan, vegetarian, whole 30, gluten free and fits every diets in the book that does not prohibit vegetables. I like to spice it up by adding rice, sambar, or chapatis but of course that makes it comfort food which may not be as appealing to the diet conscious audience.
