Stir Fried Water Chestnuts

Very healthy to have as a side dish.

Ingredients
1 pound (453 grams) water chestnuts
2 cloves Garlic
½ tsp salt
2 tbls extra virgin olive oil

Method
1. Put the water chestnuts in hot water for 2 minutes. Take out.
2. In a small bowl combine garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the oil to the pan and allow it to heat up for 20 seconds.
5. Add the water chestnuts to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to stir the waterchestnuts and coat the oil.
6. Cook the water chestnuts on a high flame, until lightly browned for 3 minutes.
7. Add the garlic mixture to the pan and cook, stirring continuously for 1 minute.
Serve immediately.

Cutting water chestnuts: You need to slice the end off so that you can see the inside layer of water chestnuts. Then peel the chestnuts as they are very hard to do so.
