- 10 stalk asparagus
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- Snap off the woody ends of each stalk and discard. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the asparagus, making sure that they all lay flat in the pan in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and rotate them until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Once they begin to brown, add the lemon juice. Add the parsley and continuously spoon the juice over the asparagus until the stalks are dark green and the heads are a deep brown. Serve, garnished with additional parsley.
