Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 ounces (approximately) medium asparagus
1 tablespoon extra virgin Spanish olive oil
Coarse salt -- to taste

1. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Peel the outer layer from
the bottom half of each spear.

2. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the
asparagus and sauté until the asparagus is bright green and with just a tad of
brown, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Notes: When asparagus are first in season, prepare them the Spanish
way—quickly
sautéed in a fruity olive oil—for intense flavor.
