Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic

Monday, April 5, 2010

I love asparagus. This time of year, when it is fresh and cheap, I make it at least a couple times a week. And, this year, I've been making it the same way, over and over again. Asparagus doesn't need much, with a hint of lemon and butter (EB) is a perfect complement. And its one of the easiest things you'll ever make.

Asparagus with Lemon & Garlic
1 bunch asparagus
6 cloves garlic, peeled & bruised
1/2 lemon, sliced thin
2 tbs Earth Balance Margarine, in thin slices
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup dry white wine

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break off the tough, fibrous ends if the asparagus. Arrange in a 8x8 casserole. Arrange the whole garlic cloves, spaced evenly around the asparagus and push to the bottom. Arrange the margarine over the garlic and asparagus. Add a layer of lemon slices on top. Cover with tin foil or a lid and bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears. Medium spears take about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss in the sauce before serving.
