Add the asparagus pieces and tomatoes and fry for 3 minutes. Deglaze the vegetables with the stock and season with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables simmer gently with the lid on for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Then remove the lid and continue to sauté until the liquid has reduced. Wash and chop some parsley and sprinkle over the vegetables. Season to taste and serve the glazed asparagus. This goes perfectly with herbed trout or other fried fish.
