You could do this with a silverstone skillet, but you REALLY should use cast iron.
Get the skillet hot, add a tsp of olive oil and a tsp of butter. If you can't do fats at all, use a nonstick skillet and add 2 tbsp water to a hot skillet.
Put in a tbsp or so of sesame seeds and a half teaspon or so of minced garlic. Stir this around and then add trimmed asparagus (take off the woody inch or two on the bottom of the stems). Stir if necessary, just a bit ... you don't want to COOK the asparagus, just heat it up with the sesame and garlic till it's hot all the way through and dark/bright green (not pale any more). When it is, sprinkle it (just barely) with malt vinegar or balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, then drizzle it lightly with honey, stir it once more and put it on a plate and eat it up.
If you have any left over (hahahahahaa) it's pretty good chilled for lunch tomorrow or cut up into an omelette or a tortilla wrap.
My galpal Stephanie and I ate up an entire huge skillet of this all by ourselves one night. Works really well with fresh green beans and broccoli too, especially delicious if you can do olive oil!
