Ingredients

    2 cups Water
    1 pound fresh Asparagus (trimmed and cut into pieces)
    2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
    1 TBSP butter (melted)
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

Bring the water to a simmer in a skillet
Add the Asparagus, cover and boil for 4-6 minutes (until cooked)
Remove asparagus from water
Mix the Vinegar, butter, garlic, salt and pepper
Coat the Asparagus with the vinegar mixture

(I put in a zipper bag together and shake to coat, then drain the extra sauce - the calorie content is calculated with only half the vinegar and half the butter because of draining off the extra liquid)
