  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

  3. Heat the broth, mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a nonstick skillet, cooking until soft.
  4. Add the asparagus and drizzle with lemon juice; stir to combine.
  5. Heat over low-medium until the asparagus is warmed through.
  6. Remove from the skillet onto serving platters and allow to cool.
  7. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil over each serving at room temperature.
  8. Sprinkle with cayenne, if using.
