How to prepare fregula with asparagus cooked in a jar

Place the fregula in the 1-liter jar with a thin gasket.
Add the cleaned and washed asparagus tips.
Also add a few herbs like marjoram or thyme.
Add a piece of low-sodium broth cube, then the water and oil.
Finally, add the pepper.
Clean the edge of the jar, close it with the gasket and lid, and seal it with the 4 clamps as per Instructions for cooking in a jar in the microwave.
Once the jar is closed, shake it to mix the ingredients inside.
Cook the jar of fregula with asparagus in jar cooking in the microwave, for 12 minutes, at reduced power (I use 300W).
Once ready, remove the jar from the microwave and let it rest for 20 minutes in a warm place. At this point, you can remove the clamps, gently pull the tab, and enjoy the fregula with asparagus, or store it in the fridge.
