Asparagus with Smoked Garlic Cashew Cream

I love the faint bitterness of asparagus drizzled with the sweet garlic cashew cream. The perfect balance.

They say that asparagus was used in lust and fertility spells, especially when it came to men’s stamina and potency. Asparagus comes into season just as mating season starts.

This dish was created as the sunsets became later in the day. Boat jams on the roof, potions and a few sides with friends. It represents the start of a summer of love.
