With spring approaching, soon asparagus will be poking up out of the garden. This is one of my favourite side dishes… I love asparagus cooked in any manner but this is great.
Asparagus is high is fibre, vitamin A, C and iron and is also very low calorie, with one cup of plain asparagus having only 27 calories.
If you are like me and you can’t wait for spring to come to eat asparagus, pick up a bundle the next time you are at the grocery store and try this tasty recipe.
Lemony Asparagus
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Zest & Juice of half a lemon
- 12 – 14 Asparagus spears
Heat olive oil in a pan and when hot add your asparagus. Roll asparagus around in the pan until tender. Add lemon juice and zest and cook for approximately one minute.
Serve and enjoy.
