Asparagus Delight

Phase 2 recipe with phase 3 additions

Asparagus and Tomatoes

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or MCT oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for Phase 3 or Phase 4)
  • 10 grape tomatoes, halved

Directions:

Combine the asparagus and water in a 10-inch skillet and place over medium heat; cover. Allow the asparagus to steam until tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Reduce heat to low and return the skillet to the heat. Drizzle oil over the asparagus; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet and replace the lid. Allow to sit covered until the cheese melts and the tomatoes are slightly steamed, about 2 minutes.

    In the ingredients, it calls for 1/4 cup of coconut oil or MCT oil ( what ever that is! ), but in the directions, it says to drizzle olive oil over the asparagus! No mention of the other oils to add in! Quite interesting!

      Thanks Leslie- the recipe is really old and was updated to add in our favorite oils coconut and MCT oil. Originally we had used more olive oil in phase 3 and now we prefer these two oil. I also add links to MCT and Coconut oil that we prefer.
