Sautéed Asparagus with Chives
Total time: 25 minutes
Asparagus is one of the long awaited signs of spring. Most often steamed, occasionally roasted or grilled, I have discovered simple frying to be quick, and leave the asparagus a beautiful green color and full of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 8oz (250gr) asparagus, 225gr, 8oz
- 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, 4.8oz
- 1 tbs fresh snipped chives
- sea salt, 1.5gr, .05oz
Instructions:
- Snap off ends of asparagus. If white use vegetable peeler and peel the bottom half of stalk.
- Heat oil in a nonstick skillet just big enough to easily hold the asparagus without cutting. Add asparagus and sauté over medium heat until they start to brown and blister, 8 - 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and chives, roll around to coat, remove and serve.
