Peanut Asparagus

Submitted by Sarah Boyle

"This is a super easy asparagus recipe, it is similar to some others, but the peanuts definitely add a twist!"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 3-4

ingredients

• 1 lb asparagus
• 2 garlic cloves
• olive oil, for coating
• sea salt
• ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 -2 tablespoon ground peanuts

directions

1. Wash the asparagus and break off the rough ends.
2. Coat the asparagus in the olive oil, and press the garlic over it, add the sea salt and pepper. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat up a dry pan. Add the asparagus to the hot pan with all of its oil and garlic.
4. Let this cook until the asparagus really greens up, this usually does not take very long. You'll want to turn it so it does not scorch (although a little bit of black is sometimes yummy).
5. Remove from heat, lay out on a plate. Sprinkle the balsamic over the top, and lay the ground peanuts over the top & serve.
