Come springtime, when stalks of asparagus shoot up from the ground (as if they're celebrating with us!), there isn't much to do to make this easy side dish shine. First, a sauté in the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme coaxes out the natural sweetness of the asparagus, while finishing it with a quick steam until the stalks are crisp-tender locks in vitamins like A and C.

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 5

asparagus
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp balsalmic vinegar
olive oil
fresh parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, balsalmic vinegar and asparagus spears; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. If you like your asparagus well done, reduce heat and cook an additional 10 minutes. Top with fresh parmesan cheese and salt and pepper when removed from heat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus properly. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of the spears.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly. Sautéed asparagus should be cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to preserve the asparagus's bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a generous amount of butter or oil. Butter or oil will help to prevent the asparagus from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
  • Season the asparagus to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Sautéed asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the asparagus's flavor and texture.
