One of the clubs I'm involved with on campus had a potluck Thanksgiving dinner for its board members, before we all go home for Thanksgiving break. The requirements for my dish - something vegetarian, since I didn't know if anyone else was bringing something vegetarian. Something free of nuts and fish, because of allergies of other people at the dinner. And in the end, it had to be something I could make in less than 30 minutes, because of course, that's how long the procrastinator in me left to put something together.
With 30 minutes to spare, I ran to the supermarket and bought a bunch of asparagus, and tossed it in olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper (sound familiar? cough brussels sprouts cough...). Then I baked them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until they were softened and starting to crisp. People enjoyed them, and I think enjoyed having something green on the table!
