What I love about this recipe is the ease of preparation. The asparagus comes out still crisp. To make things easier I use a Tupperware microwave steamer and I have a gadget called Misto that you put olive oil in to mist your foods. Cooking time includes standing time. Ingredients:
1 lb ripe asparagus |
1/2 cup water |
olive oil |
seasoning salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Clean fresh Asparagus and snap off wooden ends. Discard wooden ends or use in another recipe.
2. Place water in bottom of steamer.
3. In steamer basket lay the Asparagus with tips pointing towards the outer edge of basket.
4. Mist Asparagus with olive oil or drizzle lightly with olive oil.
5. Sprinkle with seasoned salt. I usually eyeball this, but it is around 1/2 teaspoon.
6. Place in Microwave. Microwave on high 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes.
7. Enjoy.
