How to Steam Fresh Asparagus | Make like the Canned Kind

Asparagus! 

My Husband loves the canned Asparagus, but I love the fresh kind. He likes the canned kind because they are really tender; which I like to but I prefer the fresh tasting kind. So how do you go about getting that really tender taste without buying the canned. (canned is more money too) There is a way to do so. After all marriage is about compromise and meeting in the middle. So I had to find a way to make the fresh taste like the canned haha!

STEAM THEM!

Step One: Cut off the bottoms of the Asparagus. This is the part that starts to turn white and is very "stalk" like or hard. Cut it off! haha

Step Two: Peel from the middle to the bottom of the Asparagus. This takes of the very thin layer and allows it to become tender. (see picture below)

Step Three: Lay them in a skillet that has 1 cup of water in it. Put a few thin slices of butter on top of them.

Step Four: Cover them with a lid and turn your stove on medium heat. Let them come to a boil then to a low simmer until your ready to eat them!

We LOVE Asparagus! haha! We eat them with Steak, Chicken n' Rice, Moroccan Chicken, and many other things!
