Tender crisp asparagus. An easy and tasty spring treat. If you like spicy, add dried chili flakes along with the shallots. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chili-flavored olive oil or 1 tablespoon toasted chili oil |
3 shallots, diced (about 2 ounces total or 6 tablespoons diced) |
6 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon) |
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch long pieces |
1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 cup beef broth |
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Heat a non-stick wok or skillet over medium-high heat (375-425F / gas mark 5) for 30 seconds.
2. Add chili oil, shallots, and garlic; saute until the shallots are tender and beginning to brown (2-3 minutes).
3. Add asparagus and continue to cook until it begins to soften and color (2-3 minutes).
4. Add stock; cook over medium heat (350F / gas mark 4) until asparagus is tender and all moisture has evaporated (5-10 minutes).
5. Season with salt and pepper; toss until well mixed.
