Brown Sugar Asparagus

I just made this recently and my fiance loved it. He normally is a much better cook than I am so it was nice to hear him raving about something I made. It's really easy too and results in a slightly sweet asparagus.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Add olive oil, water, and brown sugar to skillet pan and stir to mix
  2. 2
    Snap asparagus and add tops to skillet pan.
  3. 3
    Heat over medium heat occasionally stirring until asparagus is tender (about 15 minutes, but I like my asparagus soft so if you prefer it crisper, it will need less time).

This was different, but I loved the appearance of the finished dish. It was so glossy & pretty on the plate. I think it was the brown sugar that threw me a little off flavor wise. I want to try the recipe with regular sugar & a bit of lemon zest. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring '09 Pick A Chef.
