I really didn't enjoy eating vegetables as a kid. When I moved to Stockton, California I discovered the wonderful taste of asparagus. Every April over 30,000 people flood into Stockton for the annual Asparagus Festival, with good reason. It's really a delicious vegetable that goes so well with everything (fish, meat, chicken). This is my favorite way of preparing asparagus. It's easy, quick and simple. And it's yummy! Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus spear |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Rinse the asparagus spears.
2. Snap off the tough ends of the spears.
3. Place the asparagus in a shallow metal or ceramic pan.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus.
5. Sprinkle sea salt or kosher salt over the asparagus.
6. Grind fresh black pepper over the asparagus.
7. Shake the pan back and forth to distribute the olive oil, salt and black pepper over the asparagus.
8. Plan on the oven rack about 6 inches under the broiler.
9. Broil for 11 minutes, or until the asparagus has a nice broiled char to them.
10. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
