did you try it?
First time cooking asparagus and this turned out great.
Definitely going to try this recipe!!!
Never brown garlic. It will ruin the flavor of the dish. Just saute for 1 minute until tender.
I agree with the comments about cooking the garlic. However, I’m surprised you didn’t mention trimming the asparagus stalks. That’s a must. Also, thick stalks should be peeled. From a culinary school grand and long time cooking instructor.
The ingredients call for trimmed asparagus but you make a good point – perhaps adding a note in the recipe explaining how to trim the asparagus stalks would be helpful.
i want your Recipe please that look so Good.
The recipe is in the blog post above. Enjoy!
