Description

A bright and flavorful vegetable dish that even vegetable haters will enjoy. It goes great with roasted meats. For milder flavors, substitute mozzarella cheese and use less vinegar.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
Directions
  1. 1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the asparagus and red onion in the mixture, season with salt, and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and add the vinegar, Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, and pine nuts; toss to combine.
