ASPARAGUS CASHEW RICE PILAF



Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf image

This is an adaptation of an old Armenian recipe, and this variation is so delicious I can't stop eating it. It's a great way to stretch expensive seasonal asparagus and pricey cashews. It's great as a side dish or as a vegetarian entree.
