My favorite recipe is in the oven. Take the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Then put then on a baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil (extra virgin if you got it), salt and pepper, and some Parmesan cheese. Then back until they are tender. In a 400 degree oven, it takes less than 10 minutes, but you will have to test them to make sure.What's a simple recipe for crisp asparagus?
Crisp Asparagus in Oyster Sauce:





Ingredients


6 cups chicken broth


2 tablespoons vegetable oil


1 pound asparagus


2 tablespoons chicken fat


2 teaspoons sesame seeds


Sauce


3 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce


1 tablespoon water


1 tablespoon sherry








Directions





Bring chicken broth to a rapid boil. Add oil and asparagus.





Cook in broth for about 2 minutes.





Turn off heat. Let asparagus remain in the broth while you prepare the sauce.





Heat chicken or duck fat in a small saucepan. Stir in sauce mixture and cook over low heat until it foams.





Add sesame seed oil.





Turn off heat.





Drain asparagus and arrange on a serving platter. Pour sauce over asparagus.





Serve hot.
Stir fry in olive oil with some fresh minced garlic and top with fresh torn basil after cooked.


As mentioned above, of course discard of the fibrous ends, then cut the asparagus any ol' way you want and stir fry until just barely fork tender. So-o good. Perhaps a pinch of salt or some fresh squeezed lemon juice over them once cooked.
I think this is simple and delicious. Just snap the woody ends off and put them in a covered skillet. Add a little water, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with a little lemon pepper and butter salt. Cover. Turn stove unit to high. When it comes to a boil, turn it off. Ready to serve in 3 to 4 minutes. (The steam cooks the asparagus enough in the standing time.)





Enjoy your asparagus. It's delicious!
I like mine rubbed with olive oil, herbs and spices, then BBQed. You can do them on a skillet the same way.
