| | Directions | | Preheat oven to 400°. Spread the pistachios on a baking dish and toast for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Set aside. Steam the asparagus until just tender, about 10 minutes. In a large skillet, melt the margarine over moderately high heat and add steamed asparagus. Season with salt and toss to coat, then transfer to a platter. Finely chop the eggs and crumble over the top. Garnish with toasted pistachios and chopped herbs, and serve. |
