Equipment
- Skillet
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 1 bunch Asparagus trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Add the butter and olive oil into a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the asparagus and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until almost cooked.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tip 1: Once cooled, transfer the leftover asparagus to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Tip 2: Reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat with a few drops of oil. A quicker way to reheat asparagus is to use the microwave.
- Tip 3: The best way to freeze cooked asparagus is to transfer it to a freezer bag and push out the excess air. Cooked asparagus will last up to 3 months in the freezer. There is no need to thaw the asparagus before reheating it. Simply add it to a pan and cook covered over medium heat until the stalks are fully defrosted and warm.
