Cast Iron Skillet "Grilled" Asparagus
from the skillet to the plate
2-3 tbsp butter or margarine ( I use Smart Margarine )
salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper
1-1.5 lb
asparagus, trimmed
other seasoning are optional
Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat; add butter, salt, pepper ( black and cayenne ) and any other flavoring you desire...
Once butter is melted, add flavorings and asparagus, toss with your hands to coat... raise temperature to above 350 (high) cooking and rotating till asparagus beings to brown a bit.
Cover skillet and allow asparagus to steam until fork tender, about
two more minutes, then reduce temperature to low. It is now tender and ready to eat but you can leave it set in the skillet if your dinner is not ready, just remove from the hot burner..
