A quick, flavorful recipe I came up with that fits into the Dr. Simeons Hcg Protocol during VLCD phase. Add spices to taste. **Trimming the Asparagus: Just hold each end and snapping it - it will naturally break off the tough part. You keep the flower end for cooking (and should have nice longer spears). If you like, the tough ends can be kept to be used in vegetable stock or for other used later. Saw this on Cook Yourself thin! Ingredients:
2 cups fresh asparagus, cleaned and trimmed |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 lemon, juice only |
1/2 teaspoon garlic, to taste |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste |
Directions:
1. Add asparagus in a saute pan along with water over medium heat.
2. Stir frequently, for approximately 2 -3 minutes.
3. Add remaining spices, squeezed juice of half lemon and more water if needed; cover and cook for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
4. Enjoy!
