Food of the Week - Asparagus

Week of March 22 – 28
THE WORLD’S HEALTHIEST FOODS
Food of the Week - Asparagus


5-Minute Healthy Sautéed Asparagus

Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus
3 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 clove of garlic







Directions:
Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting properties.

Heat 3 TBS broth over medium heat in a stainless steel skillet.
While broth is heating, snap off the woody bottom of asparagus stems, then cut the spears into 2-inch lengths. Cutting them into short pieces of equal length ensures quick, even cooking.
When broth begins to steam, add asparagus. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. The outside will be tender and the inside will be crisp. Thinner spears will take about 3 minutes. "Healthy Sauté" will concentrate both the flavor and nutrition of asparagus.

I added some salt and pepper and also some sliced almonds. It was so yummy!!! And healthy too!!
