Ingredients
- 5.5 ounces asparagus fresh
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper ground
- lemon juice optional, to serve
Instructions
- Wash your asparagus spears to get rid of trapped dirt. Pat them dry or else the water will jump in the pan during the cooking process.
- Trim off the tough woody and fibrous asparagus ends.
- Heat up a skillet and keep on medium heat with the olive oil and place your asparagus into the pan.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the asparagus spears in the pan and season with black pepper
- Sautee your asparagus for about 5 minutes or until they are cooked. Shake the pan occasionally. The asparagus should still have some texture and should not be soggy and lifeless.
- Drizzle Lemon Juice over the asparagus just before serving them still hot.
