Asparagus Provencal

FEEDS: 4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 T. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 small-diced tomato
  • grated Locatelli cheese

LET'S COOK

Put a pot of water on to boil. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and drop in the diced onion. Season with some salt and pepper and start to cook it up.

While that’s going on, clean and then slice the asparagus on the bias, or at an angle. Drop the asparagus into the pot of boiling water, which you’ve salted.

Next, add the crushed garlic, the parsley and the diced tomato to the now caramelized onion. Stir it all up and simmer on the lowest setting of your burner.

When the asparagus is just tender, drain it and then add it to the sauté pan with the other ingredients. Combine it together well, spoon into a serving bowl and dust with the grated cheese.

MORE IDEAS:

A tablespoon of capers added to the sauté pan with the other ingredients makes for even more palate appeal.
