The following recipe for Super Simple Traditional Skillet Asparagus is from SurvivalBlog reader Ellen H. This requires a large cast-iron skillet with lid.
Ingredients
- Asparagus (1 to 6 servings’ worth)
- Butter
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Directions
- Warm a large cast Iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add enough butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- When the butter foam subsides, add the asparagus and shake the skillet to coat the asparagus spears.
- Cover and cook, shaking occasionally, until the spears are bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking until the asparagus is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 5–10 minutes more (the thicker the spears, the longer the cooking time).
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
