Broccoli falafels

A friend gave me this recipe for falafels and I have added broccoli. You can omit the broccoli and go back to the traditional parsley if that is what is on hand.

This is one of my favourite combinations as the tender asparagus coated in the pine nut and lemon dressing works so beautifully together.

Braised asparagus

This method of cooking asparagus is quick and succulent but adds a saucy note to the asparagus. It will go particularly well with a juicy steak or a simple poached egg.
