Ingredients

  • 24 thin asparagus spears
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Directions

Wash asparagus and line them up on a cutting board with the tops even. Cut off tough bottom ends.

Bring a skillet or oval casserole filled half full with salted water to boil. Dump in asparagus all at once. When water returns to the boil, cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 1 to 3 minutes, depending on size. Drain.

Return asparagus to hot pan, squeeze lemon juice over top. Add butter and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to coat. Add kosher salt, to taste. Serve immediately.

    Very simple recipe! I would go light on the salt as the lemon juice gives it all the wonderful taste. Thank You Paula!

    Very simple with a great taste. The lemon compliments the asparagus well. I added fresh ground pepper.

    I added a little vegetable broth and then barely used the butter and ;just added a touch of the olive oil, salt and a good squeeze of the lemon. Perfect side dish! I served with couscous, and portobello mushrooms baked with cheeses, mixed with lemon zest, garlic and then topped with panko bread crumbs and parsley.
