Ingredients
| — | asparagus |
| — | garlic powder |
| — | olive oil |
| — | salt |
| — | lemon |
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus and clean it.
- In a pan put about 1 tbsp olive oil and when it heats up add the asparagus. I add them whole, but you can cut them smaller. Add about 1-2 tbsp water and cover with a lid. Leave the asparagus to steam for 3-4 minutes, then add garlic powder, salt and whatever other spices you like. Leave like this for another 2 minutes.
- If needed, remove the lid of the pan. Some asparagus is juicier and releases water, so you judge whether to remove the lid or not. So they do not become soft and overcooked, do not steam for more than 4 minutes.
- When the water has evaporated, the asparagus is ready. At the end I squeeze half a lemon, it gives a very good taste. If you wish, you can also add black pepper.
