Delicious - no need to steam the asparagus first - it had just the right amount of crunch. Everyone loved this dish - definitely a keeper! -

YUMMY! And, for the record, I am not a "green veggie" eater! But this was wonderful! I am always looking for new ways to get my veggie intake, and thanks to Bergy, I will now add "Asparagus" to my likeable veggie list! -
Excellent dish! I did use more olive oil, and since I like my asparagus still crispy, but cooked more than just heated through, I added it first with the garlic and sauteed a few minutes before adding the peppers. I threw in an extra clove of garlic for good measure. :) Thanks for another great one, Bergy! -
Very good and tasty. I needed an easy asparagus stovetop recipe and this fit the bill. I served this with lasagne and garlic cheese bread. I used a whole red bell pepper since the asparagus was thin and therefore, a large amount. I also used extra garlic since we like it. Thanks for a tasty treat during asparagus season. -
So wonderful! We really enjoyed this. My 7 year old even ate every bite. I increased the garlic and use a whole yellow pepper. I sautéed the asparagus from the beginning with the garlic and continued to cook the recipe until the asparagus was done to my liking. The balsamic vinegar with the pepper was a wonderful addition. Will definitely make this again!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
