Very flavorful and delicious, if on the extremely unhealthy side!
Just as easy as described, though I was out of fresh garlic, so used garlic salt to season it. I chopped up some of the semi-cooked asparagus and included it in a quiche I was making, but the rest went on the side. Truly a delightful side dish.
It was absolutely delicious. My batty 50 year old brain needed a reminder how to cook one of my favourite veggies , finally cooking them for my kids, wanted to go all out yummm garlic, new stem asparagus… and you sorted me out. It was delicious…. At the last minute… I decided to add rosemary and it really did add something special Thank you… ⭐️
I did so delicious dish , thanks
Be careful not to overcook if you have thin spears.
Always happy with briefly pan-boiled asparagus before. This recipe builds on that idea of pan cooking, but now with the butter, oil and garlic it is really wonderful!
Very simple tasty recipe. One suggestion next time I will lightly sauté the garlic then take it out. By the time the asparagus were sautéed tender the garlic was brown – not how I like it. So when asparagus is almost ready the garlic will go back in the pan for a minute or 2. But all in all a easy quick delicious vegetable dish.
It was delicious!
My favorite way to have asparagus! It’s easy to control the fineness!So yum!
I certainly do think this is asparagus. It looks like it, it smells like it, it tastes like it, heck, it even sounds like it. I also think it’s pan-fried, since I fried it in a pan. I give this a 45/68. Well done! Well, well done me, basically. I did cook it.
This was good. I only used about two tablespoons of butter and one of olive oil. I think I could have probably even used less than that. I’ll probably make it again.
Bought it for my husband he loved it! Added a little Parmesan cheese after cooking.
Excellent! Doubled the recipe and made ahead of time. Added the garlic when warming it up so it wouldn’t be bitter .
A little olive oil helps the butter not burn during cooking. I used a lower medium heat and they were really good! Firm and green and cooked thru.
Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it within the last two minutes and it will brown and crumble and add more flavor and a really good crunch with the taste
I added a little more garlic. It was delicious.
So easy, and loved by EVERYONE!!!
Simple and tasty.
Delicious and super quick.
Delicious!!
I’ve made this recipe 3 times now and I love it. I use a little less salt than it calls for though and it tastes great. I like to make it with salmon.
