Pan Fried Asparagus with Ghee
Method
- Heat a nonstick or a cast iron pan to hot
- Add 1 tablespoon of ghee Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus then add to the pan, shuffle around to coat in ghee
- Cover the pan and let cook for three minutes, then turn
- Remove from the heat, salt and serve
- Ghee Ghee is my newfound love
- It is essentially butter with the milk solids browned and then removed
- It has an amazing nutty flavour, can tolerate a very high heat without burning, and will store in the cupboard (not the refrigerator) for up to a year! Gold! I make mine by putting 6 pounds of butter (6lbs!) in the crockpot on low for 6 hours
- There are heaps of websites with quicker but more attention intensive methods of making it
- Once the milk solids are slightly tan coloured, strain through a fine mesh into sterile jars
