Lemon Crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 anchovies
2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 lemons, zest only
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Salt
Roasted Asparagus
2 bunches of asparagus
olive oil
salt

1
Preheat the oven to 450. Lightly toss the asparagus with olive oil and salt. You just want the spears lightly coated with oil. Roast for 8 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, make the Lemon Crumbs: Place the olive oil and anchovies in a small skillet over medium low heat. Using the back of a wooden spoon, stir and press on the anchovies until they dissolve into the oil and the oil is lightly bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the bread crumbs and pine nuts and stir until golden, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Scoop into a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, chives, and salt to taste.
5
Right before the asparagus is done, spoon the crumbs over and pop the broiler on for a minute. Watch carefully!
