Asparagus With Sesame Seeds
19 Apr
Hi,
Vegetables oils, nuts and seeds are a rich source of unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats have amazing health benefits that include the prevention of certain diseases. Certain seeds contain vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant, and it protects the body against aging, arthritis, cardio vascular disease, diabetes and cataracts.
When it comes to oil, saturated fats have to be replaced with mono-unsaturated fats. Doing so will result in improved cholesterol levels and a lower blood pressure.
Ok back to the actual recipe:
You will need 500 g fresh asparagus
6 spring onions, they will need to be chopped
15 ml sesame oil
half of a small lemon
15 ml of lemon juice
lemon wedges and some parsley to garnish
With all the ingredients ready, start by washing the asparagus to ensure it is clean. Once you are satisfied that the asparagus is clean, cook it in salted boiling water until it is tender. This will take about 3 – 5 minutes. once done, drain out all the water.
Saute the spring onion in sesame oil, then add the lemon, lemon juice and the asparagus. Your meal is actually done now.
Dish out, sprinkle the sesame seeds once the food is placed on the plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley, and enjoy!
