Author: Jacques Pepin
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed (snap off roughly the lower ¼ of the stalk)

Instructions
Instructions
- Cut each asparagus stalk into 3 or 4 pieces. Heat the oil in a skillet until very hot. Add all the ingredients except the salt and pepper. Cover and saute over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, tossing or stirring the mixture a few times, so it browns and cooks evenly. Add salt and pepper and serve.
- The asparagus in this recipe will still have quite a crunch, this may or may not be appealing to you. If you prefer your asparagus more tender, just steam or boil for a minute or two before proceeding with the recipe as written.
