    Pets'R'us's Note:

    From Delia Smiths Vegetarian Collection. I add garlic to this so it is mentioned as an optional ingredient. If you prefer you can pan roast the asparagus instead of steaming them. Meant as a starter but can easily be served as a side dish.

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Wash the asparagus in cold water, then take each stalk in both hands and bend and snap off the woody end.
    2. 2
      Arrange the asparagus stalks in a steamer and steam over simmering water for 5-6 minutes, or until they feel tender when tested with a skewer, being careful not to overcook them.
    3. 3
      While the asparagus is cooking, heat 1 oz (25 g) of the butter in a frying pan, as soon as it is frothy, stir in the breadcrumbs, and garlic if using, and cook them, stirring constantly, until they're evenly browned and crispy.
    4. 4
      Then tip the crumbs on to a plate, stir in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
    5. 5
      Now put the pan back on to the heat and add the remaining butter.
    6. 6
      As soon as it is frothy, add the cooked asparagus and toss to coat them in the butter.
    7. 7
      Sprinkle with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
    8. 8
      Divide the asparagus between warmed serving plates and sprinkle with the crumbs, serve immediately.
