Asparagus with mint butter


I´ve been blogging about food in Icelandic for a while now. I´ve got so many great recipes that I want to share with you that don´t speak Icelandic. (I guess there are only about 300.000 people in the worlds who speak Icelandic).



I have also been doing a lot of foodwaves as well, many fun recipes there. And all January I did an experiment, I only cooked with local Icelandic ingredients, that was quite interesting and more about that later. Here is a really nice recipe that is Ideal for a tapas party.




Asparagus with mint butter



  • Asparagus, fresh

  • Fresh mint

  • Juice from half a lemon

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • 30-40 gr butter


Brown the asparagus in a little bit of a butter, season with seasalt and pepper.

Melt the butter in a pot. Ad the lemmon juice and finely chopped mint. Season it with a little bit of salt, by taste.

Serve the butter with the asparagus.

This is really good in a company of a Serrano ham.(Spanish or Italian Cured ham)
A really fresh baguette to clean the butter of the plate with is a must.
