Directions:
Trim the asparagus stalks to the same length. Bring about 2 inches salted water to a boil in a large frying pan; lay the asparagus in the pan and cook, uncovered, until tender-crisp, 3-5 minutes. Remove asparagus and plunge into cold water, then drain and pat dry. Let cool to room temperature, then prepare the vinaigrette, or prepare the vinaiggrette and serve at once. To prepare the vinaigrette, heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan. Add the nuts and stir oil in a large sauté pan. Add the nuts and stir until hot. Add the balsamic vinegar and, when bubbly, pour over the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
