to share while asparagus is in season.

6-10 garlic cloves, peeled and split

2 teaspoons dried basil or 2 sprigs

boiling water

1/3 cup margarine or butter

1 tablespoon garlic, chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

 

Arrange asparagus in a layer in large,deep skillet

along with the garlic

and basil. (This may have to be done in two batches.)

I do not like asparagus... At least I didn't when I tried it last time, but

I may have to try this recipe. Garlic is a key ingredient here. If it

doesn't have garlic in it, something's seriously wrong. LOL
