Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup black sesame seeds (or more , if needed)
1 bunch asparagus
1/2 lemon , juice of
salt and pepper , as desired

Directions:

Snap off woody ends of asparagus, rinse, and pat dry.
Combine butter and olive oil in pan over medium-high heat until melted.
Add about half the asparagus, being careful not to over-crowd the pan.
Add about half the sesame seeds, a smattering of salt and pepper, and cook, turning frequently, until asparagus is bright green, and gives a little. A little bit of brown on the edges is perfect, just make sure it's still a bit firm. Nobody likes mushy asparagus.
Remove and keep warm while continuing with the remaining asparagus.
When all is ready, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the lot, and serve.
