Sautéed Asparagus
This restaurant-style sautéed asparagus is quick, buttery, and finished with garlic and fresh lemon for the perfect easy side dish.
Equipment
- Skillet or Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoon Chicken Stock
- 3 Cloves Garlic
Instructions
- Mince the garlic cloves and remove the woody ends from the asparagus.
- Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of butter letting it melt. Add the asparagus to the skillet and toss to fully coat in butter. Raise the temperature to medium high, keeping the asparagus moving so the butter doesn't brown too quickly.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of chicken stock and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss asparagus and then add the minced garlic, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Cook for about 90 more seconds over medium high heat continuing to move the asparagus so the garlic stays fragrant, not browned.
- Remove from heat and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the dish. Serve immediately.
