Simply Spring Asparagus

I bought some asparagus on Sunday and was too tired Monday night to think about how to prepare it, so I simply steamed it, making a wonderful appetizer that turned into a full entree because we ended up eating the whole bunch. It was that good! And the nice thing is that asparagus has health benefits galore.

The recipe couldn't be more simple:


INGREDIENTS (serves 4) -- or 2 in our case ;-)

9 to 12 fresh asparagus spears
1/2 cup of chicken broth

PREPARATION:

Break the woody ends off the asparagus. (Hold both ends of the spears and bend slightly. They'll snap off naturally where they become tough). Place the asparagus spears in a skillet. Pour on the broth; cover and steam over medium heat until crisp-tender; about 4 minutes. (We ate them with mayonnaise.)

Enjoy!
