1. Wash the asparagus and cut off the rough ends then cut into pieces about 8cms long

2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and lightly fry the asparagus pieces for about 5 mins

3. When the asparagus pieces start to turn golden brown remove from the heat season with salt and squeeze some lemon juice over them

4. Place on a plate and serve

 

Tips and Ideas:

• You can add some pieces of bacon or serrano ham to the asparagus just for the last couple of minutes
• You can use coarse sea salt. Add once the asparagus are cooked rather than while you are cooking them.
