Peter, don't hate me because I chose to share a veggie recipe with you that does not involve meat. But it's so easy and super delicious. Treat yourself to this on those special Pooh-outfit days!
Ingredients
- Cook time: 10 minutes
- INGREDIENTS
- 1 bunch of medium sized asparagus, about 1 lb
- 2 Tbsp of either vegetable or olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese (my favorite is shredded but use the powdered/granulated Parmesan you use on spaghetti if you don't have shredded)
- Use one of the following that you have: lemon zest (just use a cheese shredder on a lemon peel...about a teaspoon) OR lemon pepper (our favorite) OR 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Prepare the asparagus by rinsing them thoroughly, break off any tough, white bottoms and discard. Cut into 1- to 2-inch sections, slicing the asparagus at a slight diagonal slant.
- 2 Fill a medium sized saucepan half way with water, bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and reduce heat slightly to a simmer. Boil the asparagus in the water for exactly 2 minutes. Drain the hot water. While the asparagus are still hot, toss them in a bowl with the oil, Parmesan, and lemon zest/lemon juice/lemon pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or room temperature.
- Yield: Serves 4.
