ROSEMARY STEAMED ASPARAGUS



Rosemary Steamed Asparagus image

I threw this together when I was trying to use up some fresh rosemary. The herb really infuses into the asparagus this way. The minty flavor of the rosemary shines here, and is softened a bit if you use the chicken broth instead of the water.
