List of Ingredients
1 lb asparagus
2 garlic cloves slivered
2 tbl water
2 tbl dry white wine
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil (off plan ingredient)
(original recipe calls for 1/4 tsp salt)
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepperRecipe
* Break off the tough ends from the asparagus spears. With a vegetable peeler, peel the bottom half of the asparagus stalks.
* Scatter the garlic in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer. In a small bowl, combine the water, wine, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over the asparagus.
* Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn the asparagus over and roast for 8 to 10 minutes more, or until the asparagus are tender but slightly crisp and the liquid is almost gone.
* Comments: Here's a new way to cook fresh asparagus. The art of roasting produces a flavor that the asparagus lover will find hard to resist. If you use thin asparagus, shorten the cooking time, and if you use big, fat stalks, it might take a few minutes more. If you don't want to use the wine, use water in its place.
