Step 1: Prepare the Asparagus
Snap the spear of asparagus at the natural break. Peel off the nodules along the remaining length.
Step 2: Boil
Cook in boiling water for about a minute, so it retains some crunch.
Step 3: Serve
Serve with melted butter, black pepper and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice. Or with a hollandaise sauce, made by mixing egg yolks with hot melted butter until it emulsifies, then adding some lemon juice, a bit of black pepper and maybe a drizzle of Tabasco sauce.
