Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the woody ends by snapping them off where they naturally break.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, whole grain mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they start to lose their raw crunch but remain bright green.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the mustard and rosemary glaze over the asparagus. Toss gently to coat the asparagus evenly with the mixture.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the asparagus become tender but not overcooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
