Sauteed Asparagus Ham, Garlic And Lemon Recipe Video

Chef John from ‘Food wishes’ cooks up a lovely asparagus and ham with garlic and lemon in this asparagus and ham recipe video. The asparagus with ham is flavorful, green and light. If I had a farm, this is how I'd eat asparagus. I would plant rows and rows of garlic. I would never have to buy garlic, or worry about being out. I would raise hogs for so many reasons, not the least of which would be to cure my own ham. I would plant a lemon tree in just the right spot, so the warm summer breeze carried the blossom's sweet scent through the kitchen window.
