Balsamic Glazed Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed
• 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil, plus some for the skillet
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Place the asparagus in a pan or bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
2. Lightly grease a large non-stick skillet with oil and place over high heat.
3. When the oil is hot, add the vinegar. When the vinegar is sizzling, add the asparagus and spread out.
4. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, turning the stalks frequently to coat with vinegar, until they are crisp-tender and bright green, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the stalks.
5. Add more pepper.
