Silken tofu

Ground nutmeg

Table salt

⅛ tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ pinch(es), or to taste

Asparagus

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine beans, reserved bean liquid, tofu and onion; blend until smooth.
  2. Spoon sauce into a small sauce pan and set over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in nutmeg; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Place asparagus on a serving platter and top with sauce. Yields 1/4 of asparagus and about 1/2 cup of sauce per serving.
