Fresh Asparagus

My friend S gave me this bunch of fresh asparagus grown in her sister's garden. She told me to stir fry it simply with crushed cloves of garlic. I broke the woody stems off, used a bit of canola oil and cooked it for about 9 minutes. It was super delicious and better still, I didn't use any salt!

I usually cook mine in the microwave for 3 minutes with a little water in a covered dish. Very tender that way. Dab it with butter after cooking.

I love asparagus, too, especially the green type here. I had some last week and enjoyed it with chicken and rice, and made a wonderful soup from the leftovers! Valerie

Good thing you took a photo before they were gone!
I've been wrapping some in ham, with some cream cheese. They were pickled. It was quite good!
Sorry I didn't get back earlier. This retirement/volunteer stuff isn't for chumps.
