2 1/4 lbs asparagus, woody ends removed |
salt & pepper |
1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped (or 2 1/4 tsp dried mint) |
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Mix parsley, garlic& oil in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
2. Add asparagus& mix to ensure that all stalks are covered with oil mixture.
3. Place asparagus into a skillet large enough for the asparagus to lie flat in no more than 2 layers.
4. Season with salt& pepper.
5. Cover& cook over medium-high heat until sizzling.
6. Reduce heat to low& simmer until asparagus is tender but not mushy, 10- 20 minutes.
7. Transfer to serving platter& sprinkle mint over top.
8. Stir lemon juice into the pan juices, season to taste& pour over asparagus.
