Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Trim the Ends
Hold each asparagus stalk and bend it gently until it snaps. This will naturally break off the tough, woody end. Discard the ends.
- 3
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.
