Asparagus with Tomatoes and Garlic

This is an easy oven baked side dish.



You can have it as a starter for a dinner, a side dish with fish or meat or just a a snack.

Medium size thick green asparagus- as fresh as you can get it- works best.



I bought a bundle this morning at one of our many asparagus and strawberry shacks. They are dotting parking lots, main streets and the outside of gas stations and grocery stores since the beginning of April. Since this month is nearly as cold as the last month, thw prices are high. But not only the cold weather, the covid 19 restrictions and hygiene measures are making the veggies and fruits pricy.



Ingredients:

500 g green asparagus

2 tomatoes, 1 large clove of garlic

Salt, pepper. Olive oil

Break off the bottom parts of the asparagus. If you want to make it more posh, take a speed peeler and get some skin off at the ends. Set them in a baking dish and season them. Quarter the tomatoes and cut the garlic into slithers.

Bake at 170 C fan for 25 min.
