Italian sweet & sour spring veggies



These agrodolce vegetables are so quick and easy to make!

A great side dish, to compliment your roast. Light and refreshing but full of flavours.


INGREDIENTS


2 bunches of asparagus, cut into smaller pieces and the woody part removed

1 cup green peas

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Salt

Pinenuts, toasted

Basil leaves


METHOD


In a bowl, add honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and with a whisk, combine the ingredients until well emulsified.

Season to taste and set aside.


Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the peas and asparagus for 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, preheat a frying pan where you will transfer the drained veggies.


Over medium heat, pour 3/4 of the dressing into the frying pan.

Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the vegetables occasionally.


Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving plate.

Top them with the remaining dressing and finish off the dish with some basil leaves and toasted pinenuts.
