Iron, Man!

This can be a side, or double it and forget your starch for just today, or triple it and make a meal out of it!  Be good to your body and build some red blood cells!  No need for a recipe, I've just sliced the brussel sprouts so they cook quickly, and julienned the asparagus.  Grate some garlic and olive oil over them and season with salt and pepper.

The key to getting a nice colour on them is to get your pan screaming hot first.  If you have already tossed them in olive oil, then no need to add any to the pan.  This will take minutes to cook - remove when they're still all nice and dark green.  Sometimes I will add a little splash of water or white wine to help with the caramelization.  Done.

Use whatever's fresh, now that Spring has finally sprung...
