Ingredients
- Asparagus - 1 small bunch tender & young variety, washed and trimmed
- Onion - 1 small sliced thin
- Garlic - 1 pod chopped fine
Oil & Spices
- Olive Oil - 1&1/2 tsp tea spoon
- Barbecue Sauce - 2&1/2 tbsp table spoon or to taste. Either use store bought or make it at home as per the recipe provided in the link above.
*No Salt or Pepper since we are using barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a heavy bottom hard anodized pan. Add garlic and onions in the pan and saute on high heat till onions turn golden brown. Stir often while cooking. In 3-4 minutes, onions will caramelize well with garlic enhancing the flavors.
- Now add trimmed Asparagus. Saute with onions and garlic on medium high heat for about 2 minutes, till it gets charred a bit.
- Add home made or store bought barbecue sauce. Reduce the heat. Cover with lid. Cook on simmer for another 2-3 minutes. This way Onions and Asparagus will absorb the flavors of Barbecue sauce and will be ready to serve.
Notes
In case, you do not find Asparagus, use tender Green Beans.
