Steamed Asparagus

Steamed Asparagus

Asparagus at the Farmers Market is supreme right now. Steamed asparagus is quick and easy to prepare and there is nothing more divine.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus
salt

Directions

Cut the asparagus two inches from the end, place in a bowl of water to wash.
Prepare a saucepan with a steamer, fill with water so that there is about 1/2 inch water visible through the steamer. Bring the water to the boil, then place the asparagus stalks on the steamer. Cover and steam for 8 - 10 minutes, till the asparagus is bright green and beginning to be tender. Test with a fork. If you like it less crisp, continue to steam until it is done to your likeness.  Drain and serve.
