    1/2  cup           pecans -- chopped fine

1) In a small saucepan, heat the butter until very hot but not brown.

2) Add the pecans and stir until the pecans turn slightly darker

Craig sez this sauce would also work well with raw fennel, cooked
green beans and even with the much abused broccoli. Typed by Lynn

terrific sauce for asparagus. Would be great for serving to guests
too!
