Asparagus, George Style
["1 lb. fresh asparagus (must be tender, pencil-size is best)", "1 tsp. fresh chopped garlic", "1/2 c. white wine (only good drinking wine)", "1 Tbsp. butter or margarine", "1 tsp. canola oil"]
["In large frying pan, heat butter and oil.", "Saut garlic, stirring for about 5 minutes or until it begins to turn light brown.", "Add asparagus and saut for about 5 minutes.", "The asparagus should still be tender-crisp.", "Add the wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve.", "You can also saut fresh mushrooms or onions before adding the asparagus.", "Allow each to cook to desired doneness; however, the asparagus must be crisp.", "If not, George won't eat it!", "Any leftovers make excellent cream of asparagus soup."]
