    And don't steam asparagus, no matter what Jill says!

    "My favorite way to enjoy asparagus! Extremely simple to prepare, and
    of course, healthful."
    Units: US

    lb asparagus, rinsed and trimmed

    lemon
    Steam asparagus gently until tender, certainly not mushy.
    (4-5 minutes tops)
    Put asparagus in bowl, and squeeze lemon half over the asparagus until fairly well-covered.
    Salt, pepper, and/or butter are optional, but I like the dish as is.

    Simply perfect! It's amazing how delicious asparagus can be with just a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. I got my water boiling and then placed my steaming basket with asparagus over top. I covered the asparagus and steamed for about 4 to 5 minutes. I had asparagus that was just the right thickness, so it didn't take too long at all to cook.

    Tasty, quick and healthy! Great proof you don't need to go overboard on seasonings with fresh produce.

    Attention.

    That's it. Attention is to a troll what oxygen is to a fire.
