Crispy bits of bacon are tossed with sautéed asparagus in this easy, delicious, perfect for springtime side. You ] need less than 25 minutes to make it, and only six ingredients, two of which are salt and pepper. Doesn't get much simpler than that. After cooking the bacon, sauté the asparagus and shallots in bacon fat (always a good idea) until nicely crisp-tender. A touch of white-wine vinegar helps tie everything together. This beautiful dish pairs well with just about anything, but especially chicken and fish. Peas would also be scrumptious prepared this way, or even a combination of asparagus and peas.
