Asparagus, Ham, and Lemon

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto ham, or any ham, roughly chopped or torn
• 1 pound fresh asparagus
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 juice of 1/2 a lemon

Directions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in prosciutto and cook until crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Place asparagus in the skillet, and toss gently until coated with oil.

Pour in water and cover with lid; cook for 1 minute.

Remove lid, stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute with lid on.

Remove lid and cook uncovered until the spears are still crisp but tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
