Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 small head of broccoli, about 2 cups broccoli florets (stem sliced thin and included if desired)
  • ½ lb asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2" pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan (finely grated)

Steps

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes to partially steam the vegetables.

  2. Uncover and continue cooking, tossing constantly, for about 4-6 more minutes. You want the vegetables to turn bright green and stay fairly crisp while barely softening from the heat.

  3. Add the butter to the bottom of the skillet and toss quickly to coat the pieces. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with Parmesan before serving. Enjoy!
