How would I improvise if I had canned asparagus instead of fresh
Hi Gwen, I wouldn't use canned asparagus - it will have a completely different texture than fresh asparagus.
This recipe is delicious! I made it just as directed for my husband and myself as our main dish for dinner tonight. Both of us really enjoyed it, this recipe is a keeper!
What other cheeses if any have you tried? If not, which ones would you recommend? Thanks, this looks wonderful. Trying tonight.
You could use Asiago, Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Mozzarella.
Gruyere, Swiss or Emmentaler would all be delicious too!
Great suggestions, thank you, Chelsea!
These look amazing. Can’t wait to try them today!
Enjoy!
Looks great will have to try fresh cheese on them
Enjoy!
Saw your recipe for peanut sauce. It calls for fish sauce. I am allergic to shell fish. Can you please tell me what kind of fish is in the fish sauce?? I love peanut sauce especially pad Thai but afraid to eat it and no one can tell me what fish is in fish sauce. Thank you. Love your blog❤️
I'm allergic to shrimp, but I can eat things with fish sauce. Not sure what is in it, but apparently not shrimp.
These look incredible Julia!
Thank you! 🙂
