Tried a really decent asparagus recipe.
Cupid's Asparagus
1 pound fresh asparagus spears
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons tamari or shoyu (good-quality soy sauce)
toasted almonds (optional)
1. Wash and prepare asparagus by snapping off the ends (if you're using very young, tender asparagus, you can omit this step).
2. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat and saute garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add asparagus and cook, stirring often, until asparagus is crisp-tender. Remove asparagus to serving plate.
3. Add grated ginger and tamari to pan, stirring well, until heated through. Pour this sauce over asparagus, sprinkle with toasted almonds if you like, and serve.
I added a couple slices from a vidalia, used olive oil cooking spray instead of the olive oil, and reduced sodium soy sauce. But it came out great.
