Asparagus-Lime Pie

[Bill W. Michigan]

I make a lot of dips and salsas that I take into work and I use lime quite often in them. One of my co-workers remarked that she liked the taste and asked if I had any recipes that I could share.

Other than Tequila Lime Chicken I didn't have any off the top of my head. So I Googled Lime Recipes and found this one and had to try it.

It uses Asparagus in a dessert mode. I use fresh limes and this stuff

I grilled the Asparagus, then puree it to add the mix. That other stuff is for meatloaf which I will post later.

Egg yolks, sugar, lime zest.

This was the hardest part. A double boiler to temper the mix. Pay no attention to that smoke just a little oil on the burner.

Put it all together and bake at 350 degrees and you end up with this.

Looks tasty Bill! How much of a asparagus flavor did you get? Was anything overpowering?

 

[John Solak]

Very interesting dish Bill!!! Did your bottle of lime juice expire in Feb?

 

[Bob Correll]

Looks interesting Bill, but too much work for my lazy a$$ to make it!

just picked up a 2.5 lb. bag of top grade MI spears today, WooHoo!

I did not realize that you have been in poor health...our family will keep you in our prayers. You were one of the first to welcome me to this forum. I am not afraid of something new, and I will give this a try!
