Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 Bunch Asparagus, Peeled,
• 2 Tbsp. Butter,
• ½ tsp. Lemon Juice,

Instructions:

• Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus.
• Peel the asparagus from about an inch below the tip to the end.
• In a pot of salted boiling water, blanch the asparagus until just cooked. Shock in an ice-bath to stop them from cooking any further.
• Remove the asparagus from the ice-bath to a plate to let them dry, or you can pat them dry with a paper towel.
• Add the butter to a medium sauté pan and cook over a medium heat until it is golden brown and nutty. It will be quite foamy as it browns.
• Add the asparagus to warm through.
• Add the lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place the asparagus on a serving platter and dress with the extra brown butter from the pan.
• Serve warm.
