I love fresh asparagus! I've had this recipe so long - I'm not sure where it originated. The lemon, tarragon and butter really enhance the flavor. You can leave out the butter and still have a great tasting dish. Thyme can be substituted for the tarragon with excellent results. Hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces |
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 pinch dried tarragon |
salt & pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Snap off woody portion of asparagus- cut remaining into 1 inch pieces.
2. Place cut asparagus and water in a 1 1/2 quart microwavable bowl.
3. Cover and microwave on high for 7 to 8 minutes- drain.
4. Add butter, lemon juice and tarragon- toss to coat.
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Serve.
7. NOTE: Can also substitute thyme for the tarragon.
