How long saute asparagus

I also used lemon pepper instead of regular black pepper and sprinkled a little lemon juice over the vegetables while they were cooking. After I took them out of the pan, I sprinkled fresh parmesan cheese over them. This was the best asparagus I have ever eaten! Lori Saslow. Snaps for Kim! We loved this recipe. Asparagus can be bitter if not prepared properly which could be why so many don't like it.

This was so simple and the flavor was terrific. I didn't add the garlic until the last few minutes so it didn't burn and I used 2 Tbls. When the color starts to just fade its done. Great recipe. Rating: 4 stars. The only reason this gets 4 stars is because my boyfriend says this was just "ok". I absolutely loved it.

He doesn't care for asparagus. A tip you can use with asparagus: don't just cut off the end. Asparagus will break where it is most tender. That way you don't have to mess with the hard and chewy ends.

You can also peel the asparagus but I think that's too much work. It was really delicious. I've never cooked asparagus before and only eaten it once before so I was not hopeful about it but I have to say this was simply delicious. We had Mahi mahi and brown rice with it and I added some lemon juice to the leftover garlicky butter from the pan as a dipping sauce.

Many happy groans of delight. One thing however I didn't have fresh garlic so I used garlic powder that first time. I've made it since with the fresh - but honestly there isn't That much difference between the two. Both great. Powder is easier actually. I had a bit of a problem fitting it in the frying pan and trying to make sure it cooked evenly. Finally, I just took a knife to the spears and cut each one in half so I could stir them around easier.

I'm not sure what size pan you other folks are using, but I had my hands full I agree with some other reviews about cutting back on the butter and even the salt this is coming from a salt lover. This is a great recipe! Although it is very easy and quick to make it is quite sophisticated and easy to customize with sauted mushrooms or other additions. This recipe is a keeper.

The six minutes is bang on. While our steaks were resting I did this up and it was just the perfect texture. I tossed in some sauted mushrooms when it went into the serving dish which added a nice flavour. Will serve this up again and again!!! Thank you yet again Fine Cooking. Already a subscriber? Log in.
