The first time i made this was when my parents came over to my house for dinner. i was making a hazelnut crusted mahi mahi for dinner and needed the perfect side dish to go with it. well, i had asparagus and hazelnuts, so i decided to throw this together and am i glad that i did! it has quickly become one of our favorite ways to eat asparagus. the recipe came from my mayo clinic cookbook.
