Asparagus, George Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
