Sauteed Asparagus

sauteed asparagus
Simple stir fries are quite common at our place. Everyone loves them and I like the ease at which such veggies are cooked. Not much prep work. Today I cooked sautéed asparagus with garlic and Cajun Seasoning.

Ingredients:
Asparagus - 1 pound
Garlic - 2 big cloves
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cajun Seasoning - 1/2 tsp
Olive Oil - 1 1/2 tbsp
Salt

How to cook Asparagus:
  • Wash asparagus well. Discard the thick woody part of asparagus and dice it into about 2 inch pieces. Finely chop garlic.
  • Since Asparagus is a local American vegetable, I have no idea what its Indian names are.
  • Heat 8 - 10 cups water in a big vessel. Bring it to a boil. Add diced asparagus and cook for about a minute or so. Drain the water.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet and add garlic. Sauté for few seconds and add half cooked asparagus. Add salt, Cajun seasoning and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté for about a minute or two. Cook for few more minutes if you like asparagus softer.
