How to Cook Asparagus on the Stove image

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Side Dish     How To

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 pound asparagus (or up to a pound), thin, medium, or large
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 garlic clove, cut in half (optional)
1 strip of lemon peel (optional)

Steps:

  • Prep the asparagus: Snap or cut off any woody bottoms of the asparagus spears. If working with medium sized or large asparagus, if you want (for a fancy presentation) you can use a vegetable peeler to peel the outside of the lower inch or two of the asparagus.
  • Heat water in a large skillet: Fill a large, wide skillet with about 3/4-inch of water. Add salt. Add the cut garlic and lemon peel if using. Bring the water to a boil on high heat.
  • Boil the asparagus: Add the asparagus in an even layer. If the water doesn't cover the asparagus, cover the pan. If using thin asparagus, cook only for 1 to 2 minutes. Medium asparagus, 5 minutes. Large asparagus 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Rinse with cool water: Rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking and then transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil or butter to serve.

Categories     Easter     Mother's Day     spring     side dish

Time 15m

Yield 3-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch of asparagus (about 1 1/4 lb.)
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the woody ends from the base of the asparagus spears by cutting off the bottom 2 inches or by snapping it off with your hands.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the asparagus in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden and almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (Cut a small piece from the end of one asparagus to see if it's near tender.)
  • Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, garlic, salt and pepper and stir to coat the asparagus. Cook until the garlic is softened and fragrant, 1 to 2 more minutes. Immediately transfer to a serving plate.
  • Just before serving, squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the asparagus and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
