Herb-Braised Asparagus

Herb-Braised Asparagus

Rosemary and bay might seem unusual for asparagus but trust me and try it!

1 1/2-2 lbs asparagus (I prefer nice plump stalks to skinny ones here, as in most asparagus preparations in fact), washed and tough ends snapped off

2 bay leaves (fresh if you have a bay tree nearby)

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Sea salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

Splash of water (1-2 tablespoons)

In a large skillet toss the asparagus with the herbs, salt and oil. Add a little water and cook, covered, over high heat for a couple of minutes until the pot is nicely sizzling. Turn down to medium or medium-high and continue cooking for another 6-7 minutes until the asparagus is tender and browning in spots.
