Steamed Asparagus<\/h2>\n
Serves 4<\/em><\/div>\n

2 1b fresh asparagus, cleaned and trimmed
\n1 C water
\n2 T lemon juice
\nFreshly ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Arrange asparagus in a microwave-safe 13 x 9-inch baking dish or in a round baking dish. Stems should be nearest the outside edges of the dish, with tips toward the center. In a rectangular dish, place half the asparagus in one direction and the other half in the opposite direction, with the tips in the center of the pan. On a round dish, arrange the asparagus like spokes in a wheel, with the tips meeting in the center.<\/p>\n

Add water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes; turn the dish. Continue cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes, until the asparagus is crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Drain. Season with lemon juice and pepper.<\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  • Serve plain or with Mock Hollandaise (page 459) or use in recipes that call for cooked asparagus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
