I like to make this as soon as asparagus season roles around -try not to purchase thick asparagus as it tends to be tough, you may adjust the garlic amount to taste, I have left the chili flakes as optional I like to add them in for heat :) Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste) |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic |
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional or to taste) |
1/2 lb fresh asparagus (tough ends removed) |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
freshly grated parmesan cheese (to taste) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet melt butter with oil over medium heat.
2. Add in kosher salt, garlic and crushed chili flakes (if using) cook stirring for about 1 minute (do not brown the garlic).
3. Add in asparagus and cook for about 8-10 minutes turning the spears to ensure even cooking.
4. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
