Description

Asparagus kid love.  Bright green, crisp-tender blanched asparagus.  5 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 4 cups water
  • olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the asparagus.  Cut off the tough ends, or bottom third of the asparagus.  With a peeler, lightly peel all but the very top of the asparagus.
  2. In a large skillet, bring 4 cups of water to boil.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water.
  4. Add in asparagus.  Cook a few minutes until cooked to your liking (about 4 minutes).  Check for doneness with a fork.
  5. Pour asparagus onto a large flat-ish  sieve and run under cold water in the sink.
  6. Place asparagus on a plate.  I serve it as it, but you can add a drizzle of olive oil, additional salt or other topping or seasoning you enjoy with asparagus.
