SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• On its own, Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. There are a number of ways to cook it, and as long as you follow a few simple techniques, they are all great. But it's also easy to elevate the flavors even more with the addition of other ingredients and flavors. In this recipe video, I show you how to sauté asparagus which shallots, which together add another flavor component to the vegetable, and what's still a simple dish, really tasty. Recipe Overview & Keys to Success To the best asparagus possible, just remember a few things: Overcooked asparagus gets limp, soggy and bad tasting; so don't walk too far away when cooking it. You want to test doneness every couple minutes. I like to cook the shallot and asparagus together, which essentially steams the shallots and prevents caramelization. While I love browned shallots for many dishes, this one, I think it's a bit overkill and you risk drowning out the asparagus.
