Ingredients
- 1 - 1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (chopped as large or fine as you like)
- lemon zest, grated for garnish (optional)
Method
- Simmer, steam or roast the asparagus until tender but still firm.
- Use a paper towel to remove any residual water from the asparagus.
- Place the butter in a microwave proof container (I use a glass measuring cup) along with the lemon juice and chopped mint.
- While the asparagus is cooking warm the butter to the point where it's not quite all melted.
- Remove from the microwave and stir to finish melting the butter and mix the lemon juice and mint nicely together.
- Drizzle the butter mixture over the still hot asparagus.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top if using.
