It's amazing how something so simple can be so good! Fresh asparagus spears sauteed in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, lemon thyme, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon. Delicious! I will never go back to plain old steamed asparagus. Serve either hot, cold, or at room temperature. This is a great make-ahead dish. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 lb asparagus spear, washed and trimmed |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme leaves, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, finely chopped |
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
Directions:
1. Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 3 minutes.
2. Add the asparagus, thyme, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon slices, and salt & pepper; stir to combine.
3. Cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over cook.
4. Arrange on serving platter and squeeze with fresh lemon juice.
5. Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature.
