Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound medium-thick asparagus
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally and peel the spears. Slant-cut them about one-inch long.
  • Beat the lemon juice and mustard and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the garlic, stir-fry about a minute, then add the asparagus and stir-fry about 5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender, lightly seared but still bright green. Stir in the lemon-mustard.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the scallions and stir-fry another few seconds. Transfer to a serving dish.
