Method
We often make this dish and serve it over quinoa, along with some roasted chicken. The original recipe calls for sugar snap peas instead of asparagus. If you have sugar snap peas on hand, you could add them too, at the same time as you add the asparagus. I might also add some broccoli to the mix (added to the boiling water at the same time as the asparagus).

Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Add the asparagus for the last 2 minutes of the cooking time. Drain the pot and wipe it clean. Heat the butter or olive oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic and sauté for five or so minutes, until tender. Add the potatoes, asparagus, nutmeg and mint. Toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
