Ingredients
- 1000 g white asparagus
- sugar
- Salt
- 1 tsp butter
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
-
1.
Peel the asparagus well and cut off the slightly woody lower ends.
-
2.
Bring water with salt, a pinch of sugar, some butter and lemon juice to a boil in an asparagus pot. Place the asparagus in; the tips should not be submerged, then simmer. Thick stalks need 20 minutes, thinner ones 14 to 17 minutes.
-
3.
To test doneness, take an asparagus stalk from the water and place it on a fork. If the asparagus sticks out by one or two centimeters on both sides, it is properly cooked.
