Do not peel the green asparagus. Just cut off the dry, woody ends and cut the asparagus into large pieces. Peel and chop the garlic.
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the asparagus for about 4 minutes. Then add the garlic and continue to fry for a good 5 minutes on a lower heat, seasoning with salt and pepper.
The asparagus is pretty firm to the bite. If you like it softer, you can let it sizzle even more. But think of the valuable vitamins that go up more and more when you cook for a long time.
