Recipe



Preheat the oven to 375°F In an ovenproof skillet, melt the butter, add the bread, and toss to coat well.

In a large skillet, combine the olive oil and water, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Add the asparagus, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the cover, and boil off any remaining water.
Sauti the asparagus in the remaining olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until cooked and light brown.
