Servings: 1
Ingredients:
3 pencil size Asparagus spears, top portion only, 3-inches long (cut stem ends at a slight angle)

Instruction:
Pencil size asparagus are best. If you are using larger asparagus lay a spear on a flat surface and peel
skin 1-inch up from the stem end. Place cut asparagus spears in boiling salted water until they are almost tender, 3
minutes, test by
poking with a sharp knife, then plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking;
drain, sprinkle with salt and pepper. They
can be made 2 days in advance, covered and refrigerated.
Arrange 3 on each plate as my photograph indicates. Serve with the main entree
