Pistachio & Asparagus Quinoa

Ever since I made pis­ta­chio roasted aspara­gus, I’ve been crav­ing that slightly sweet, savory and uniquely tex­tured com­bi­na­tion.

Richie first intro­duced me to roasted aspara­gus with crushed pis­ta­chios over a year ago and it has since become my favorite way to pre­pare the deli­cious green. What he has neglected to inform me of  until now, is that he some­times tops this off with a sunny side up egg. Since this sounded like my dream dish, the other night we joined forces with some left­overs around his house and made what I like to call pis­ta­chio roasted aspara­gus with a sunny side up egg á la mode.
