An elegant side dish that is healthy too!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus trimmed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water Enough to come up about 1 inch
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus and trim the ends. Note: Cut off enough so that you can slice through easily. If it is hard to cut, you will want to cut back a little more. Typically, you will need to trim off about an inch and a half.
- Place in a large enough saucepan. Add water. The water should come up to about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with salt. Place lid on top.
- Turn on the heat to Medium high. Once the water starts boiling reduce to medium and continue to cook for 5 minutes. The asparagus should still be vibrant green and cooked perfectly through.
- Remove lid and serve immediately.
