If you are planning to add asparagus to your diet, but do not know how to cook it, then use one of the suggested recipes. Roasting asparagus is very simple - the plant cooks pretty quickly. The main thing is to extinguish the stems a little, since they cook a little longer than the inflorescences.

It is more convenient to immediately fry the asparagus in a pan, but you can first boil it a little in a pan, and then fry it.

You can also always add versatile garlic and peppers, and especially asparagus is good with sesame seeds.

Good afternoon everyone! Today we have for dinner, as everyone already understood, asparagus. The season is already ending, and I only decided to buy it for the first time. After cooking I thought: "Why didn't I take it before ??". And really why? It's not only very tasty, but also healthy... More, of course, "for girls", but with a good addition, boys eat too. At least the dinner turned out wonderful

Let's start cooking!

Asparagus rinse thoroughly and remove excess water with a paper towel. Probably, everyone already knows without me that the lower part of the asparagus should be removed due to its hardness.

How do you know how much to cut? Very simple! You need to take the asparagus slightly below the middle (but not quite at the base) and bend it. It will break immediately and exactly where it needs to be! Throw out the tip, and the main part can be used as a "template" for cutting the rest of the asparagus (well, or you can break off all the ends in this way).

Heat a frying pan (over medium heat), spread butter, add olive oil... Olive oil is needed to keep the butter from burning. When sl. the butter will melt, add sugar(literally 2 pinches) and salt(taste). We spread the asparagus, fry in oil for 2 minutes (do not add heat).

Advice. It is desirable, but not necessary, that the pan is large in diameter. Then the asparagus will not be one on top of the other, which guarantees high-quality roasting.

Next, add water and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 3 minutes. Then we remove the lid, add the heat to maximum and simmer (or are we already frying?) The asparagus for 1 minute, until there is practically no liquid left.

Ready!

I served asparagus with fried salmon, boiled potatoes (I chose smaller ones on purpose) and lemon-butter sauce. The sauce, to my shame, was ready, so I can't give you a recipe. In Germany it is called Zitronen Butter Sauce by Knorr. Whoever has the opportunity to buy and who does not faint at the sight of ready-made sauces - I advise you to buy! It goes very well with asparagus. But I say with confidence that asparagus will be good even without the sauce (I tried it)! I took the sauce only because of my man, it tastes better for him

All good spring .. oops, almost summer mood (personally, we only have summer according to the calendar)!

Green asparagus is a rather expensive product, and if we decide to buy it and make fried asparagus, we want everything to be fresh.

How can you tell fresh from old asparagus? It's very simple. In the photo on the left - good asparagus, and on the right - already a little dried up, which is not good. Visually, everything is perfectly visible: the first has a smooth stem, and the second has a slightly wrinkled, which indicates a lack of moisture, possibly improper storage conditions, and so on.

Unfortunately, whatever one may say, but in our bundle several wrinkled stems will necessarily be lost. You just have to watch that there are a minimum of them.

Cut off a couple of centimeters of the ends of the asparagus. The ends are hard and even after heat treatment will remain so, so do not feel sorry for them, feel free to cut them off.

According to the rules for cooking asparagus, a special saucepan is sold, which is narrow and long. Why exactly this? The bottom of the asparagus is harder and takes longer to cook. But I rarely buy asparagus, therefore I do without such a saucepan. We have to deviate from the rules and get out with a simple, most ordinary, but wide pan.

In advance, you need to boil the kettle, put the asparagus in a saucepan and pour boiling water over it. Cook for 5, at most 7 minutes. You cannot digest it - it will fall apart.
If you don't have a wide pan, just cut the asparagus in 2 pieces. In this case, first throw in the bottom half, and after 2-3 minutes the top half.
Be sure to salt the water. Asparagus loves salt!

Peel and chop the garlic. In a frying pan, melt the butter, add a spoonful of vegetable oil, throw in the garlic.

Drain the water from the asparagus and immediately put it in the pan.
Fry for several minutes over medium-high heat, gently shaking the pan, thereby turning the asparagus stalks.

Serve with lemon juice. It is quite possible that you will need to add salt on top. Pepper if desired. For aroma, you can sprinkle with lemon zest. Another option for a change is grated hard, flavored cheese.

It's very simple, but it's good for fried asparagus, you don't need to overload it with flavors and long heat treatment.
Bon Appetit!
