Great but a little bitter
michaela v - February 12, 2008 12:08:43 PM PSTMy husband and I loved this dish and it was easy to make but the asparagus was a little bitter tasting. I think if you blanched them first and then continue cooking as instructed it may remove some of the bitterness of the vegetable.

Substitution for a Southwest Flavor
