Bo's Famous Garlic Asparagus

This is a hit with family and friends. Definitely for the garlic lover!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄4 lbs fresh asparagus
• 1⁄3-1⁄2 cup garlic, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1⁄4 cup white wine (he prefers chardonnay)
•  salt, to taste

Directions

1. Rinse asparagus thoroughly.
2. Cut into 1 1/2 inch bites, after removing tough ends.
3. In a large nonstick pan, throw in garlic until it "starts to sizzle".
4. Add butter, and melt.
5. Stir to evenly distribute garlic.
6. Drop in asparagus, simmer on med-high heat, until sauce level gets to half the volume of the asparagus, flip the asparagus, simmer two minutes.
7. Flip/stir again.
8. Add the wine.
9. Simmer until largest pieces are just fork tender--not crisp (though, I like mine still a bit crispy).
10. Take off heat, cover let rest 10 minutes, then serve.
11. **We have used vegan margarine (not low-fat) successfully, too, if you want to make this vegan.
