To trim thicker asparagus spears, just bend the stem ends until they snap off.
Prep: 10 min

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp kosher salt

In a small saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until just hot. Saute the garlic until it starts to color, about 1 minute.

Stir in the pistachios and remove from the heat.

Steam the asparagus until bright green and tender but still crisp, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.

Stir the lemon juice into the pan with the pistachios. Pour over the asparagus and season with black pepper to taste and up to ¹1/8 tsp of salt.
