Categories     Side Dish

Total Time 5 minutes

Prep Time 2 minutes

Cook Time 3 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb asparagus
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash the asparagus and break off and discard the tough bottom ends of the stalks.
  • Put the asparagus and water in a microwave-safe dish, cover and cook on High for 3 minutes.
  • If the asparagus still seems raw after you microwaved it, don't be tempted to microwave it more - it will continue cooking for several minutes on its own after you take it out. Asparagus should still be green and crispy after it's cooked, otherwise it will turn overcooked and mushy.
  • Sprinkle cooked asparagus with salt and pepper to taste. You can also toss it in a little Italian dressing - it goes really well with asparagus!

Total Time 840S

Prep Time 600S

Cook Time 240S

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound asparagus, preferably thin or medium thickness
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Trim the asparagus: Trim the bottom 1 to 1 1/2-inches of woody stem from the bottom of the asparagus. Rinse the asparagus.
  • Dampen the paper towels: Dampen 4 large paper towels with 1/4 cup water. Wring out any excess and stack the paper towels on top of each other. Lay the asparagus on the paper towels in a single layer.
  • Season the asparagus: Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt.
  • Roll the paper towels around the asparagus: Roll the paper towels into a bundle with the asparagus. You should have a spiral of asparagus with paper towels in between.
  • Microwave the asparagus: Place the bundle in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes. Check for doneness — the asparagus should be tender crisp. Microwave for 1 minute more on high if needed.
  • Remove from the microwave using tongs: Using tongs, carefully remove the asparagus from the microwave.
  • Serve: Dress the warm asparagus with a pat of butter or hollandaise sauce.
