Asparagus, Ham, and Lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto ham, or any ham, roughly chopped or torn

1 pound fresh asparagus

¼ cup water

1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 juice of 1/2 a lemon

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in prosciutto and cook until crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Place asparagus in the skillet, and toss gently until coated with oil.

Pour in water and cover with lid; cook for 1 minute.

Remove lid, stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute with lid on.

Remove lid and cook uncovered until the spears are still crisp but tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
