Clarice Scheeringa of Ripon, California shares this dressed-up asparagus. I live in the heart of asparagus country, so I'm always on the look out for new ways to serve it, she explains. Lemon and a touch of tarragon make it a quick elegant side dish. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice |
pinch dried tarragon |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus and water in a 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Add butter, lemon juice and tarragon; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Yield: 4-6 servings.
