This recipe was on a total whim! I wanted to roast some asparagus but my steaks had just gone in the broiler so I had to think of a plan b….and it had to be a quick cook as the steaks wouldn’t take long! Hence – asparagus rice!
I had many peeps on instagram asking for the recipe so I thought I’d quickly post it here. It was super quick and easy! Take a look and then go grab some asparagus 🙂 I kinda feel like it’ll be a great summer side as you can tweak it into salad form…..almost like coleslaw. Oh man, my mind is running with ideas now!
