Garlic Asparagus

Asparagus is great but it can be a little bitter. I like to use the really young shoots that are thin vibrant green. Trim off the bitter ends and add some flavor, it can truly be an amazing vegetable.

1 Bunch of asparagus washed and trimmed
1 Tbsp olive oil
pinch kosher salt
black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon mixed with 1/2 cup boiling water

Bring a large skillet up to heat over medium high. Drizzle the olive oil into the pan and add the garlic stirring with a wooden spatula to keep from burning. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper...
