Asparagus can be SO delicious! And it really doesn't take much. Just a little time in the sauté pan and it's ready to go.
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 to 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus
1 tablespoon oil (coconut is my favorite, but if you use olive oil, just make sure the heat doesn't get too high)
Salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash asparagus and snap woody bottom ends off
2. Add oil to sauté pan and heat on medium until pan is hot (oil will be shiny and spread out)
3. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper and allow to cook until crisp-tender - about 3-5 minutes
