Very good. An unusual way to prepare asparagus - we'll make this again.

Lovely way to cook asparagus. I used white but will make it next time with green asparagus since the white ones take longer to cook. I added 2 tablespoons of chicken stock because of the longer cooking time and used half of the mint.

I skipped the first step and mixed everything in the skillet. It cooded crisp tender in 15 minutes. I brought the pan juices to a boil and boiled down a few minutes before adding the lemon juice. Everyone thought it was a wonderful recipe and as usual the directions were wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I am sure I will do make this again.
