Asparagus are probably one of my favourite vegetables.. I probably could eat them every day 🙂 they are incredibly tasty and easy to prepare.
This recipe takes 5/10 minutes to prepare and combines another flavour that I love – garlic.
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves fresh garlic, minced (to taste)
- 500g asparagus, ends trimmed
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fill a medium saucepan halfway with lightly salted water, and bring to a boil.
Prepare the asparagus, cut the bottom part about 1cm and discard. Slice the asparagus at a slight diagonal. Add them to the boiling water and lower the heat slightly to maintain a simmer for 2 minutes.
Drain the hot water and reserve the asparagus.
On a nonstick skillet or a wok, heat the olive oil, add the garlic stirring often for 1 minute, then add the asparagus, salt, and pepper, keep stirring until easily pierced.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
PT: Espargos com Alho
- 3 c. sopa azeite
- 8 dentes de alho fresco, picada (a gosto)
- 500g espargos, retirar caules
- sal e pimenta fresca moída
Encher uma panela com água colocar umas pedras de sal e deixar ferver. Preparar os espargos, cortar a parte inferior cerca de 1cm e descartar. Cortar os espargos em peças mais pequenas. Adicioná-los à água e deixar ferver em lume brando por 2 minutos, vão ficar apenas parcialmente cozinhados.
Escorrer a água e reservar os espargos.
Numa frigideira antiaderente ou wok, aquecer azeite adicionar o alho e ir mexendo. De seguida adicionar os espargos, sal e pimenta, e continuar a mexer até que fiquem suaves. Servir e desfrutar!
