Asparagus with Almond Butter Sauce

Delicious asparagus comes packed with some great health benefits. Asparagus is a good source of Vitamin K and contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also serves as a natural diuretic and nourishes the digestive tract with a good source of fiber. Asparagus is also high in vitamin B1 thiamine and helps fight cancer.

Ingredients:
2lb Fresh Asparagus
1/4 cup Artisana Organic Raw Almond Butter
1/4 cup Butter (or substitute)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Directions:
Cook asparagus in boiling salted water until tender; drain well.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter.
Add almond butter and cook until golden brown (6 or 7 min). Remove from heat; add lemon juice and salt.
Pour sauce over hot cooked asparagus, and serve.
