Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound medium-size fresh asparagus
Salt

Steps:

  • Snap the ends off the asparagus where they break naturally. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the lower two-thirds of the stalk.
  • Bring an inch of salted water to a boil in a skillet. Put the asparagus in a single layer in the skillet, cover and cook just until the asparagus turn bright green, about three minutes. Alternatively, the asparagus can be steamed in a steamer.
  • Drain the asparagus, chill them under cold running water, drain, then dry on paper towels.
