Angostura® Mayonnaise Drizzle
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. grated pecorino Romano cheese or a tangy Parmesan
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters
Roasted Vegetables
1-2 lbs. asparagus spears, green beans, broccoli raab, rapine or Chinese broccoli (or a combination)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters
Makes 4 - 8 servings
Whisk together mayonnaise, cheese, lemon peel, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 1 tsp. ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. Set aside.
Rinse vegetables and drain well. Break off tough ends from asparagus. Remove stems from green beans. Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 1 tsp. ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. Brush liberally on vegetables; let stand 15 minutes.
Heat a large iron fry pan over medium heat. Place vegetables in pan in a single a layer. Cook about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. (The time depends on how thick the vegetables are.) Turn and cook 3-5 minutes more or until tender. Cook in two or three batches, if necessary.
To serve, warm up Angostura® mayonnaise in microwave for 15-30 seconds; stir well. Drizzle over hot vegetables.
