Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons ghee can replace with butter or oil
- 3-4 cloves garlic I like it extra garlicky so I use 4
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
- pinch ground pepper optional
Instructions
- Prepare the asparagus by gently rinsing it and patting it dry. Trim off and discard the bottom 2 inches of the asparagus stalks.
- Add the ghee to a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cut the trimmed asparagus into 1 inch bite size pieces.
- Add the asparagus and salt to the pan, stirring every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick to the pan.
- While the asparagus is cooking in the pan, mince the garlic.
- Sauté the asparagus for 10-15 min, depending on how thick your asparagus is. When the asparagus in fork tender, add in the minced garlic, lower the heat to medium low, and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant, and it's ready to serve.
