Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well:)I went to the store the other day and found the most beautiful bundle of asparagus:) In these crazy times it can be hard to be creative and healthy, but now is the time to really nourish our bodies and take the extra step to be mindful of what we put into our bodies. Seasonal eating is essential in this step. Seasonal vegetables are more nutritionally dense, tastes better and cost less too! The next time you go to the store, pick up one item that’s in season! Arugula, artichoke, carrots, green beans, dark leafy greens are great choices too:)I hope you enjoy!•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Recipe: Serves 27 asparagus14 slices shabu shabu style pork extra virgin olive oil salt and pepperTeriyaki Sauce: 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon mirin1 teaspoon coconut sugar 1. Snap off the bottom inch or so using your fingers; the stem should naturally break where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins. If not, just cut the ends with a sharp knife. 2. With a peeler remove the outer skin of the stem.3. In a bowl, prepare an ice bath.4. In a frying pan, boil water, add salt and boil asparagus for 1-2 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus. Try not to over cook. 5. Remove asparagus from the boiling water and shock in the ice bath. This will stop the cooking process. 6. Dry asparagus completely. Cut in half.7. Prepare teriyaki sauce by combining all ingredients. 8. Lay pork on a cutting board and roll the asparagus. Salt and pepper. 9. In a frying pan heat extra virgin olive oil to medium heat. 10. Add the rolled asparagus and cook until all sides are nicely browned and cooked through. 11. Add teriyaki sauce and simmer on low heat. Once the sauce thickens, it’s done! 12. Plate and enjoy with shredded cabbage or a spring salad! Stay safe everyone ❤️Love, Grace_________________________________________________Thank you so much for watching!
