Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus — the thinnest, newest asparagus you can find!
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2–3 garlic cloves, sliced or diced
- 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Snap the ends off your asparagus where it wants to break naturally.
- Put the biggest skillet you’ve got over medium-high heat, and let it heat up for three or four minutes.
- Add the olive oil and garlic, slosh it around, then add your asparagus, in as close to a single layer as you can get.
- Sauté, turning everything over every minute or so, for just 3-5 minutes, or until the asparagus turns brilliantly green. Squeeze the lemon over it, salt and pepper, and toss it to coat, then serve immediately.
