Gedämpfter Spargel

Zutaten

• 1 pound asparagus
• water (for steaming)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus – Rinse the asparagus under cool water. Using a knife, trim off the tough, fibrous ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.

2. 2

   Steam the Asparagus – Add enough water to the bottom of a pot so that it does not rise above the steamer basket. Place the basket into the pot, then add the asparagus. Cover and heat on high until steam forms. Once the steam builds, cook until bright green and fork-tender, about 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
