Servings 6 servings
Calories 120kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 oz tomato red, ripe, cherry
  • 2 lb asparagus
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 oz whole kalamata olives
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil shredded
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Cook 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until garlic turns golden but not brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and olives and cook until tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes; transfer to bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add half of asparagus with tips pointed in 1 direction and remaining asparagus with tips pointed in opposite direction.
  • Shake skillet gently to help distribute spears evenly (they will not quite fit in single layer).
  • Add 1 teaspoon water, cover, and cook until asparagus is bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook, moving spears around with tongs as needed, until asparagus is well browned on 1 side and tip of paring knife inserted at base of largest spear meets little resistance, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer asparagus to serving platter, top with tomato mixture, and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan.
  • Serve.
