Classic Vegan Asparagus Recipe
Ingredients
Serves 3 To 4
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound asparagus
- heaping ¼ teaspoon minced garlic (1 small clove)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Method
- Pour the water and olive oil into a wide, shallow pan, such as a 10-to 12-inch skillet
- Lay the asparagus spears in a single layer in the liquid
- If they don’t all quite fit into one layer, it’s okay to pile them up a little
- Turn the heat to medium-high, and when the liquid reaches a boil, cover the pan and lower the heat to medium
- After 2 minutes, begin checking for doneness with a fork
- As soon as the asparagus is tender enough to pierce slightly with a small amount of pressure (still resistant, but no longer stone-hard), remove the cover and turn the heat back up to medium-high
- Add the garlic and salt, toss to coat, and cook over this higher heat for just 30 seconds
- This allows any remaining liquid to evaporate
- Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature
