Directions Skillet Asparagus with Caramelized Onions and Walnuts
Directions
-
Melt 1/2 of the ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, spread out into a thin layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat if it's browning too quickly, do not allow to burn. Add garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in vinegar.
Transfer onion-garlic mixture to a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet and melt the remaining ghee over medium-low heat. Add walnut pieces and stir until crisp and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add asparagus to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until bright green, tender, but still crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Plate asparagus, add onion mixture, and garnish with walnuts.
