Easy Asparagus

"I absolutely love Asparagus. My father showed me this simple way to prep and cook asparagus. I use my Electric Griddle to make this recipe, but a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan will work as well. You would probably like to use a larger pan for this recipe."

  • PREP :

  • Cut the ends of the Asparagus off. This part is usually the lighter colored past of the Asparagus opposite of the Spears.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and put the asparagus in the pot of water for 10 seconds and move the asparagus to an ice water bath to shock the asparagus and to stop the cooking process.
  • COOKING :

  • Add Olive Oil and Butter onto your pan (or griddle).
  • Once the butter is melted add your asparagus.
  • Add Salt and Pepper onto the asparagus and mix up the asparagus in your pan. Make sure that none of the veggies overlap each other. They will cook more evenly this way.
  • You will cook the asparagus for 10 minutes. Turn the Asparagus every 2-3 minutes to ensure proper crispiness.
  • Once Asparagus has finished cooking place onto your platter and serve.

  1. This easy and very enjoyable asparagus was served with your own recipe#375397, it accompanied recipe#457786 and recipe#275461, for a lovely meal, thank you Elizabeth! Made for PAC Fall 2011
     
  2. Normally I grill my asparagus without par-boiling. In fact, I had ot heard of par-boiling prior to grillig them. So I was intrigued. And very pleasantly surprized because these asparagus did not wilt and dry out like some grilled asparagus have a tendency to do. Nice step to add in this process! Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth! Made and reviewed for 2009 Fall PAC.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Cooking has really taken my interest in the past couple of years. Even more since my boyfriend and I moved in together over a year ago. I am so interested in making nice, homey kind of meals. I like people to eat my food and kind of relax or feel very comfortable with it all. I do believe you can do that with your cooking. I like collecting recipes and even writing a few of my own. Sometmes they may be just a different something to a classic recipe or sometimes it is just something new altogether. I'm a flavor queen. I love love love flavoring things. I like for you to eat my food and it not need anything else but what is already there. I'm always looking for something new and I do make EVERYTHING usually before I post it here.
