"This is a great side recipe in case you’re bored with sweet potato mash or cauliflower mash and want something a bit lighter and more refreshing. It’s really easy to make, but you should blanch your asparagus shoots before pureeing it and saute the onions for a sweeter flavor. Blanching the asparagus and adding in the lemon juice will also give you a bright green color and a fresher taste. This recipe is Paleo as well as low carb/keto-friendly, and AIP (autoimmune-friendly). So it’s great to serve as a side dish when you have family or friends with different diets."

Asparagus are one of my favorite things to eat but they are on the expensive side in South Africa so tend to be bought more for special occasions. However this recipe sounded so delicious that I could not resist making it today :)) It is every bit as fabulous tasting as I had thought it would be. Dad and 2 of the kids added butter but the rest of us didn't. The only problem now is that I want it again for dinner tomorrow!!
