Ingredients

  • 12 stalks asparagus
  • 1⁄2 lemon
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
  • salt & pepper
  • butter or margarine (optional)

Directions

  • Wash the asparagus and snap of the tough bottom stem.
  • Bring to a boil 1 1/2 cups water in a fairly large saucepan (large enough so the spears can lay flat).
  • Slice the lemon and put it in the pot along with the oregano and water.
  • When it is at a roiling boil put in the asparagus cover and cook 3 minutes.
  • The spears should be heated through but still crisp.
