This pesto-like seasoning puts asparagus over the edge! All my guests loved it and asked me if I had a personal chef in the kitchen! Another winner from Rachael.

The gremolata added a special flavor to the asparagus. Very easy and made me look like a great cook.




Excellent

I made this Christmas night and it was excellent - used the anchovies and they melted right into the asparagus!! This is a keeper.




Didn't "melt" together

I tried this recipe using the green olives, rather than anchovies (had some vegetarians coming). I used a cuisinart to chop it up as best I could, but it just didn't seem to melt together. It also seemed to have too much lemon. Maybe my lemons were too large?




Christmas Asparagus left on the plates

This gremolata was way too strong for my family...I got 4 thumbs down! If I even thought about making this again, I would use roasted garlic & cut way back on the lemon zest. Fresh, uncooked garlic was too much for the asparagus. I even saved a small portion and reheated it, just didn't get that 'melting' effect that was supposed to happen. I've made oodles of Rachel's recipes and we have loved them all...but not this one.




Pretty good, but not my favorite

This was a pretty good recipe, but I've had much easier and even some tastier recipes for asparagus. It was definitely good for a change, my husband and I did enjoy it.




Simple and delicious

Lovely crisp asparagus the way it should always be cooked, in my opinion. I love parsley so the gremolata was a nice touch. My dad just loved this recipe. Thanks!

I don't know what some of you were doing wrong, but this is excellent and I'm not a fan of anchovies but I tried it anyway, and WOW...my guests and family were totally impressed. Way to go Rachel!




very fishy

The anchovies did not melt into the asparagus at all, like one reviewer pointed out...and the first thing my husband said was, "What's that fish smell here?". We ended up throwing everything away (I really tried to eat it, but the fishy taste made me gag). I gave it 2 stars because I think without the anchovies, the lemon zest and garlic gave it otherwise a refreshing taste. I think I WILL substitute it with olives next time... I've used anchovies in my other dishes before, but I guess this didn't work out because the anchovies weren't "cooked" into the dish.




Great side dish

I made this for my very picky, but lovely, mother-in-law at Christmas time. She loved it and took the recipe home.Tonight I'm making it for my friends! I was scared about the anchovies and lemon (i hate lemon) at first, but I'm glad I took the chance because the combo is not overwhelming! It's just fantastic!




Not much taste

These were ok. They looked pretty, but there wasn't much taste to them.
