2-3 tablespoons Tropical Traditions Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil
6 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 pound fresh asparagus
dash salt & pepper

Wash asparagus, break off ends, then cut into about 2-3 inch pieces.

Cover the skillet with a lid for about 10 minutes (5 minutes through, mix to make sure that the butter and garlic are covering all pieces). Remove the lid, mix again, and let simmer for about 2-5 more minutes. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
