Asparagus, bacon, scallion, pine nuts

Recipe for Absurdly Addictive Asparagus seen here on Food 52.

This version uses bacon in place of pancetta, scallion in place of leeks, because that is what I have on hand. My version also has vermouth because I put that in everything. I forgot about lemon and orange zest, and come to think of it, they sound very nice. Butter would be better than bacon grease. 

This is excellent. I ate the whole pile for lunch, and it went down very fast. Their version would be even better. And this shows I should not rely on memory.

That's okay. I still have asparagus left. I'll do it again. 

And when I run out of asparagus, I'll do the same thing with Brussels sprouts.
