Here is something very simple that I like to do.
Blanch asparagus spears and drain.
In a skillet, reduce 3/4 cup of white wine.(reduce to about 1/4 cup)
Add 1/3 stick of butter, reduce heat.
Stir into an emulsion and add asparagus.
Toss to coat.
“Blanch asparagus spears and drain.”
Yumm. And its proper etiquette to eat with your fingers. However, your pee may stink. :o)
