I have been thinking a lot in the last couple of weeks about what it means to cook when you’re pressed for time. I’ve always had the luxury of time. Even when I juggled a full-time job and a site, the sum of my evening tasks were still only to make whatever I felt like making for dinner, and if dinner was done at 10 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m., we just shrugged it off.

Ingredients
- 1 pound large, thick, firm asparagus, lower third of the stalks peeled with a vegetable peeler or snapped off
- 1/4 cup good olive oil

- 1 1/2 cups 3/4-inch bread cubes (croutons), preferably from a baguette or country bread loaf
- 1/4 cup whole almonds
- 1 cup cooked beans (optional; I used 3/4 pound fresh cranberry beans, shucked then boiled for 20 minutes in lightly salted water)
