Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb asparagus, fresh
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2-3 pinch salt
2-3 pinch black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat olive oil in a large skillet
  • 2. Once heated, spread salt and pepper evenly across bottom of skillet (or pour over asparagus after it is cooked - your choice!)
  • 3. Rince asparagus stalks and chop off the ends
  • 4. Add asparagus to the hot skillet. Keep covered while cooking, except when stirring. This will allow the stalks to soften on the inside. Stir every couple minutes to blend the asparagus with the other ingredients, and because the exterior of the stalks will brown quickly.
  • 5. Serve hot and enjoy!
