Serves: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch of purple asparagus, cleaned with ends cut
  • 1 cup mayo
  • ¼ tsp prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic, pressed and minced until almost paste like
  • ½ tsp salt and pepper each
  • ¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
  • ¼ cup Italian Parsley, chopped
  • 2 TBSP of fresh chopped basil
Instructions
  1. To make the Ailoi:
  2. Mix the mayo with the remaining ingredients- that easy- yes there is a harder way (which involves making your own mayo) but seriously- who has that kind of time!
  3. For the Asparagus:
  4. Place water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set. Add dash of salt and about 1 TBSP of butter, and bring to a boil. Trim the dry ends off of the asparagus. If the spears are thick, peel them lightly with a vegetable peeler. Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until asparagus is tender.
