- As always! Use high quality ingredients. Since this dish only includes three main ingredients you should really try to focus on high quality ingredients. It really makes the biggest difference and can either make this dish amazing or just really… bland.
- When frying the asparagus make sure it gets warm and a bit golden brown, but still holds some crunch and isn’t cooked through.
- I love adding some sprouts or something crunchy to this dish. Here I added some sunflower sprouts.
- And my all time favorite is to top this dish with some high quality thick balsamic vinegar. It adds such a nice sharp yet sweet flavor to the dish.
