I enjoy it steamed, but if you've got time and don't mind a little butter, I'd recommend just sauteeing it in butter for about 10 minutes on a medium-low heat. What a great way to start the A to Z challenge, I wish I had thought of Asparagus ;).Charliehttp://www.everevolvingprimate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740288822262893276.post-73405775996495757512013-04-01T10:44:55.492-05:002013-04-01T10:44:55.492-05:00I love asparagus but it's one of those veggies...I love asparagus but it's one of those veggies that I do not eat very often.

I put it in aluminum foil with a couple of ice cubes and put it on the grill or put it in my grill pan and roast them. I even make soup-creamed with them!

A squirt of fresh lemon juice goes well with the veggie - and pepper, yes, definitely pepper! Love veggies - have to have at least 7 a day to feel right.
