Spicy Asparagus or Green Beans

You can also use green beans, which are generally cheaper. The original recipe calls for a bit less spice, but I use more and use about 2 tablespoons or more minced onion (if you do this, add more butter or margarine). This is one of my favorite recipes ever =] Enjoy!

1. Cut up veggies (asparagus: cut off bottom and cut each "tree" into about three pieces. green beans: cut off both ends and slice into one or two pieces each.).
2. Melt butter or margarine in frying pan over medium heat.
3. Add cut up veggies and all seasonings.
4. Toss to coat.
