I was able to grab some freshly picked asparagus from the organic farmer's market, so I immediately came up with this recipe. You can also check out my blog: innerharmonynutrition.jp (English available.)

If you live in Japan, instead of almond butter, you can use peanut butter. If you want to make your own almond butter, add 2-3 cups of almonds to a food processor and process them patiently for about 13-20 minutes, until they become completely creamy like butter. For 4-6 servings. Recipe by Maxerbear
