  This is a gorgeous combination of flavours and super easy. It makes a great dinner party starter when asparagus is in season.

  Newbies might not have spotted this. Manchego cheese is NOT vegetarian: it is always made with calf rennet. Vege hard cheeses are rare and expensive. You need to look on-line if you don't have an exceptional delicatessen nearby.

  Mind you, asparagus spears sauteed gently in olive oil with whole garlic cloves and served with a little lemon juice are lovely without any cheese...

  Quite nice, but I think the juice from a whole lemon was too much so would suggest trying 1/2 lemon juice first. The almonds didnt go brillliantly with this, so tried swapping for toasted pine nuts which seemed to work quite well.

  I think less butter would have been better. Very tasty. :)
