Simple Asparagus in Butter
"When everything turns green, and proper, bright green instead of the pale early spring hue around the trees and shrubs, when daffodils are gone and tulips almost finished, when peonies open their crimson globes and ducks visit my garden pond in search of a perfect nesting place – that’s my favourite time of year. And my favourite of all the green things is fresh asparagus. Cook them simply. Don’t overcook; they need to have a bite. They love butter, not too high heat, a squeeze of lemon and some parmesan. And so do I."

When you have the freshest of the fresh ingredients, sometimes it is best to treat them with an elegant simplicity! Let their flavor really shine through. I really like the artful presentation - it almost looks like the hopeful spring shoots are stabbing forth amidst the last of the frosty snow!

I've never really eaten asparagus much in my life, but this is a simple recipe I could try to start to like asparagus more!
