Green Asparagus with Tomatoes


This dish is a side vegetable dish which you can serve with any European meal. I have served it with Bulgar burgers but it can very well served with a pasta too. Now I am not a big fan of white Asparagus but I love the crunchy green ones.

Here is what you will need :

Ingredients:

- 500 g green Asparagus
- about a dozen of cherry tomatoes or a bit more
- 2 cloves of pressed garlic
- 1 green chili, slit lengthwise
- salt to taste
- black pepper
- a big pinch of red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- a bit of lime juice.
