Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 1 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • pinch of orange zest

Instructions

  1. Heat vinegar in medium sauce pan over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • To prepare the asparagus for cooking, simply snap off the ends using your hands. The natural breaking point will remove the woody part of the stem.
  • We prefer pencil thin asparagus for this recipe. It cooks faster, and it has a sweeter taste than thicker asparagus.
  • Try our Balsamic Glaze on your favorite vegetables: fresh tomatoes, zucchini, roasted peppers, or roasted carrots.
