Ingredients
Mustard Dip
- 1 cup of raw cashews soaked and drained if you don’t have a quality blender or white beans for a nut-free option
- ¼ cup stone-ground mustard or mustard of choice
- 1 Tablespoon Maple syrup or date syrup
- ½ cup of water
How to Make Asparagus Spears Wrapped in Dough
- 1 recipe oil-free dough
- 1 bunch asparagus with the hard ends cut off
Instructions
Mustard Sauce
- If you do not have a quality high-speed blender, soak the raw cashews in water overnight, then drain. Or use drained white beans.
- If you have a quality high-speed blender, skip the first step.
- Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- For a thinner mustard dipping sauce, add additional water until the sauce meets your needs. Use less water for a thicker dip.
Asparagus wrapped in dough
- Wash and cut the rough ends off the asparagus.
- Once the dough is chilled, sprinkle flour on a hard surface, and roll the dough out to about ⅛ inch thickness.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips.
Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425. - Now, wrap each asparagus spear with a thin strip of dough, repeating each piece from top to bottom like a candy cane.
- To avoid the pieces baking together, leave space between each asparagus spear on the baking sheet as the dough expands while cooking.
- Cook for 10 minutes or until brown.
- Use a spatula to carefully remove the asparagus spears from the baking sheet to keep the dough from breaking.
- Serve with mustard sauce or with your favorite sauce.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, choose silken tofu, white beans, or sunflower seeds instead of cashews.
- If you don't like stoneground mustard, choose any mustard flavor you prefer.
- Soaking cashews overnight is a way to soften the cashews to make blending them easier.
- A quicker way to soften raw cashews is to boil the cashews for 10 minutes, drain and then blend.
- Place the mustard dip in the refrigerator to thicken.
- To use as a dressing, add a little water at a time until you get your desired texture.
