Steamed asparagus

topcook.tomathouse.com

Preparation:

450 g medium asparagus, stems trimmed and peeled
1-2 tbsp. l. olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Fill a large saucepan with about 1 inch of water and set a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil, add the asparagus, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a warmed serving platter, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve immediately. Instead of olive oil, you can drizzle the asparagus with a tablespoon of butter, grated zest of a small lemon, and 1 teaspoon of chopped parsley.
