Tips for sauteed asparagus
The best way to prepare asparagus is to snap the tough ends off. Doing it this way takes a little more time but ensures that you remove the woody part. This is an asparagus recipe that I’ve been making for years. It’s quick to make and goes well with roast chicken or my favorite Juicy Baked Pork Chops.
Olive oil – just enough to saute the asparagus. Asparagus – you’ll want to snap or cut off the tough, woody ends. Garlic – we use 3 cloves to add lots of delicious flavor. Parmesan cheese – use your vegetable peeler to shave strips off of a block of parmesan. It’s delicious!
If you’re in a hurry, you can pile the asparagus together and cut all the ends off at once.
How to buy asparagus
Springtime is always the best time to buy asparagus. But no matter when you’re buying it, make sure to look for smaller stalks. Thick asparagus can be quite woody and hard to chew. Thinner is better. Also, take a look at the tops of the spears. If they’ve started to wilt or look slimy, don’t buy them.
How to store skillet asparagus
If you have leftover skillet asparagus, you can store it and enjoy it again tomorrow. Simply place it into a sealed container and keep it in your fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can serve it cold over a salad or warm it up briefly in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
