    Hi Evie; Cut my own home-grown asparagus, first cutting, fresh, fresh and fresh from the garden. Turned out excellent,loved the balsamic vinegar, added to the flavor. I did add a sprinkle of hot red pepper flakes along with the freshly ground black pepper. Slowly fried for 4 minutes, then added vinegar, stirred, removed from heat, covered and let the flavors do their job. Thanks, this will be a regular. "Uncle Bill"

    10 stars Evie!, you have converted me from boiling or steaming my asparagus forever! I read all the reviews and cooked mine a little bit longer, in a little more oil (older frypan & personal preference) and served these on a bed of julieanned carrots with a sprinkle of Parmisan cheese...The flavour was brilliant and if I was told I could take only one veggie dish with me to a dessert island for a year, this would be it ! The balsamic compliments the flavour of the asparagus and the zing is refreshing. Foster son said he liked it very much indeed (usually everything is "good" and he shovels it in)...and I had to laughingly fight him for the last spears in the dish since we reached for them simultainously He won, but I have this recipe on the menu for guests in the weekend so my next fix of these is close by In aditition to the great taste this recipe is super easy and super quick... please see my rating system: a brilliantly deserved 5 stars Thanks !
