I like to lightly steam them and make hollandaise to go over it. My hubby on the other hand, grills or sautes it with sesame oil and garlic. We love asparagus any of these ways.
Depending on how you want it cooked... I like to put it in a foil pack with lemon and olive oil and cook it on the grill for about 4 minutes the flip the pack and cook for 4 minutes more. If it's the big stalks you have to cook it for a few minutes longer each side. Then take it out and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt. I've also cooked it this way in an oven at 350degrees for about 15-20minutes make sure all stalks are tossed with olive oil and lemon juice. These are two easy but tasty ways of cooking it. I don't like to boil it, it looses flavor that way and soaks up water.
