Asparagus
Wash the Asparagus. Peel several cloves of garlic. Medium/ medium-low . Extra virgin olive oil and butter in the pan. Mix the garlic with the oil and butter. Toss in the asparagus. Pads of butter on top of the asparagus. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Toss the asparagus so all the stalks get a turn making contact with the pan (salt, pepper, lemon as you go). Turn off the heat when the asparagus has reached its brightest color and starts to darken. Tossing another couple minutes.

I do this often because it's so easy and delicioushttps://www.reddit.com/r/castiron/comments/bgog33/no_better_or_easier_way_to_cook_asparagus/
Asparagus is hardest at the wide end and softer on the tips so it is necessary to trim a little off the bottom of them to make cooking easier.
ASPARAGUSThere is a tip out there saying that you should snap one in half to find the best spot to trim but that is all BS.
Line the stalks all up and just trim and inch or so off the bottom; trim enough so that the stalks will fit into your pan.

AsparagusThe thinner the asparagus stalks, the higher the ratio of woody stringy stuff. When shopping, try for the medium thickness asparagus.
