Stir-Fried Garlic Asparagus

(from the Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain and Joe Friel)

1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbs olive oil
1 lb fresh asparagus spears
1 tbs lemon juice

Cook the garlic in the oil until soft, stirring frequently.  Add the asparagus spears.  Cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.  Pour the lemon juice over the asparagus.

My thoughts:  I substituted coconut oil for the olive oil which made cooking the garlic and the asparagus a little tricky but I'm happy with the way it turned out.  Amazingly tasty.  I liked the tartness of the lemon mixed with the garlic flavor.  I probably should have cooked the asparagus a little longer since it was rather crunchy.  But yummy.  Definitely make this again.
