Boiled Asparagus

Wash asparagus and break off bottoms.  Use thick spears 1/2 -1 inch diameter

Bring pot of heavily salted water to a boil and medium high heat

Add asparagus

When water returns to boil, check asparagus with fork for doneness.  It should be nearly cooked when boil returns.  If fork goes through with some resistance, remove from heat, drain and plate.

Dress with a little olive oil or walnut oil and salt.
