Keeping cooking simple is ideal for any night of the week. Easy recipes full of flavors and less time in the kitchen are just what I look forward to on a busy school night, actually every night of the week.
This asparagus recipe is no exception. Ready in less than 10 minutes it makes the perfect side dish to any fish, chicken, pork or beef. As you may notice there is no salt in this recipe as the natural taste of the asparagus once seared on a hot skillet gives out a crunchy almost salty flavor to the stalks. I can guarantee this recipe will become fast your favorite.
At the market, I found 1/2 inch thick boneless pork chops and they were perfect together. Scroll through the photo gallery, top banner top right corner small white tab, to see our full dinner plate. I simmered the pork chops with 1/4 of a cup of cream of sherry and reduced the sauce. The combination was perfect. The recipe will have the instructions if you want to prepare it as we did.
