Ingredients
Instructions
-
Fill a pot with a lid halfway with water and add the salt, erythritol, and ghee.
-
Cover and bring to a low boil over high heat.
-
Clean the asparagus, chopping off the woody end of the spears.
-
Peel asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, and starting about 1 ½ inch (4 cm) from the tip, peel away the remaining tough outer layer.
-
Simmer. Place the prepared asparagus lying down in the pot. Cover, and reduce heat to medium to keep them simmering.

Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, or until a knife inserted in one stalk comes out smoothly.

Remove from the pot, drain and serve. Sprinkle with pink pepper.
