Hi Marsha- this, to me, is a really weird recipe. Have you tried it?

 

[marsha-tbay]

Cyn, I've not tried asparagus but had a similar dish with eggplant, it was delicious....

It looks like a modified spoon bread- I bet it is good!

Think I'll give it a try- love it when something different is posted! Thanks.

Let us know. Ever had cinnamon with asparagus??

 

[cynupstateny]

Nope! Walnuts either!

I've had pecans with asparagus. I gave a recipe several days for an asparagus pecan

cold salad with soy sauce. I served for a dinner once and it was scarfed up, as I said before.

Having had that, I feel I can tell what it would taste like. I'll be trying it soon.
