Recipe Introduction
Take it from someone that previously disliked asparagus... this takes the dreaded vegetable to a totally new level (in a good way lol).
List of Ingredients
2 lbs. fresh green or white asparagus, bottoms trimmed, peeled if tough
1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1 t. coarse sea salt
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 bay leaves, preferably freshRecipe
In a skillet large enough to hold the asparagus in a single layer, combine the asparagus, oil, salt, rosemary and bay leaves. Sprinkle with 3 T. of cold water. Cover and cook over high heat just until the oil and water mixture begins to sizzle.
Reduce heat to medium and braise the asparagus, covered, turning from time to time until the asparagus begins to brown in spots, about 8-10 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the asparagus. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
