Balsamic Asparagus Recipe

A very easy and tasty way to enjoy fresh asparagus.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus
1 TBL extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
salt, black pepper to taste

Directions

Snap off woody ends of asparagus. Some people use a vegetable peeler to skim off the surface. I do not.
Fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch water. Bring to simmer and place asparagus in water. Cook until bright green, about 3 minutes.
Drain water, return asparagus to pan, and coat with evoo. Add balsamic vinegar and coat asparagus.
Serve immediately.
