Asparagus Almondine

Asparagus AlmondineIncredibly easy to make, this dish is great if you find healthy, fresh, asparagus spears.

Ingredients:
1 bunch of asparagus
½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:
Wash asparagus and trim the bottom ends of the stalks. Fill a pot with cold water, place asparagus in, and bring to a boil. Test a piece at this point. The asparagus should be cooked until just tender (not mushy).

Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the garlic until fragrant.

Pour over the asparagus, top with almonds, and salt and pepper to taste.
