1cupgrape or cherry tomatoes, or 2 tomatoes, chunked, washed
2-3tablespoonsolive oil
1clovegarlic, minced (optional)
juice from 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
Instructions
Break off tough stem ends of asparagus, discard. Set aside.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. When oil is heated, add tomatoes and a little salt. Cover and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until tomatoes are shriveled a bit, and give off juices. Add the asparagus and garlic. Cook on medium high heat for about 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Remove from heat and top the vegetables with juice from one-half lemon. Salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
-I didn't add any water to the pan. Plenty of juice from the tomatoes to steam the asparagus. If your tomatoes don't yield enough water/juice, add about 1/4 cup to the pan when adding the asparagus.
