Lemon Butter Asparagus

 I really love Asparagus, it has a flavour that just makes me think of spring sunshine.  A few years ago I was playing around in the kitchen and just had this craving for asparagus and lemon so I came up with this recipe.  I was a little surprised when researching the post title to find lots of other people had already came up with the same or similar.  Oh well!  I guess lemon and asparagus were just meant to be together.   

The lemon brings a bit of tang to the asparagus and I think it really accentuates that “green” flavour asparagus has.  I can almost guarantee that even those of you out there who are not fans of asparagus will be fans of this lemon butter asparagus!

Ingredients:

1 Bunch Asparagus
1/2 Lemon Zested and Juiced
1 Tbsp Butter

Directions:

Prep Asparagus by washing and then snapping off the tough ends.  Simply bend the asparagus and it should snap right where its starting to get tough. 

Place Asparagus in a skillet filled halfway with water and bring to a boil.  Once at a boil cook asparagus for about 1 minute longer until it is tender but still quite crisp.  Nobody likes mushy asparagus.  Then drain.

Return the asparagus to the skillet and toss with butter, lemon rind and lemon juice.

Serve and Enjoy!
