Roasted Asparagus with Red Pepper Puree

This so easy roasted asparagus with red pepper puree is incredibly delicious! I promise you it is truly one of the best side dishes ever! Please give it a try and bring your comments.

How to Make It

Toss asparagus with fresh minced garlic in olive oil and roast in the oven at 400 (f) for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. For the red pepper puree, I used my emersion blender to blend about 1 cup of roasted red peppers, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic and salt to taste. This will definitely be a regular dish in our household!

Fun with Cob Corn & Artisan Salts

Tonight we had a little artisan salt tasting. Fresh steamed corn on the cob is thoroughly buttered, of course. It serves as the perfect platform for the tasting. We tried three flavors by Fusion. Fusion does naturally flavored sea salts in a beautiful way. Of the three, Spanish Rosemary, Black Truffle and Wild Porcini, it's difficult to choose a favorite. They are all delicious. But for me, Spanish Rosemary is a nose ahead when layered with the fresh corn. Michael's favorite was the Black Truffle. All three are oh so yummy!
