Asparagus With Butter Lemon and Mint Drizzle

"This is wonderful when that spring asparagus arrives on the supermarket shelves. I've also made this using lime with great results. This makes a light amount of the drizzle double it if you would like all of the asparagus well coated."

directions

  • Simmer, steam or roast the asparagus until tender but still firm.
  • Use a paper towel to remove any residual water from the asparagus.
  • Place the butter in a microwave proof container (I use a glass measuring cup) along with the lemon juice and chopped mint.
  • While the asparagus is cooking warm the butter to the point where it's not quite all melted.
  • Remove from the microwave and stir to finish melting the butter and mix the lemon juice and mint nicely together.
  • Drizzle the butter mixture over the still hot asparagus.
  • Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top if using.

  1. This recipe had a great success in my family as it was DELICIOUS!<br/>I had asparagus on hand and all the other ingredients and as I saw your recipe I asked my DH if he agrees to try this...with lemon and mint? Yes, will see.<br/>The sauce resulted very creamy and the butter-lemon juice combination resulted very cream. The mint addition was the non plus ultram! <br/>Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful recipe; you are really a great cooker and teacher!
