Steamed Asparagus

How To Cook Asparagus: Easy Delicious Asparagus Recipe

How To Cook Asparagus? Nothing could be simpler! Our favorite asparagus recipe is just lightly steamed asparagus bathed in a sprightly lemon & olive oil dressing! Easy to make and a treat to eat.

Steamed Asparagus

Asparagus is one of those happy vegetables that is beautiful, delicious and extremely good for you all at the same time - loaded with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients & antioxidants, alkalinizing, kind to prostates....

For some strange reason, maybe because it's too good for them, most children don't enjoy asparagus. But they will eat broccoli, so give them that while the grown-ups enjoy their asparagus!

For a quick lunch or dinner, combine this simple steamed asparagus recipe with rice or quinoa and fried tofu. If you have more time to play in the kitchen, try it with Gourmet Tofu Patties and Quinoa Pilaf.

3 -4 Servings: Steam asparagus in a steamer basket or in a few Tbsp water in a sauté pan.
