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."

I am not at all a lover of butter, never mind heated butter but even I believe that asparagus definitely is the best with a little butter sauce. This is a really simple dish and it is absolutely perfect in its simplicity because it is so easy to completely overpower the delicate asparagus flavor. The parmesan adds a delicious bite to the already delicious buttered asparagus so add the recipe with confidence as a starter or an accompaniment to any meal.
