Asparagus in garlic butter

Asparagus is generally served simply boiled especially in dishes like Egg Benedict.

I like to serve my asparagus simple and fuss free.

When choosing asparagus, it's better to choose a slim one rather than thick bodied ones. These are more tender thus you have more to serve. Rinse them in water and snap the ends of too 'old' asparagus away so only the tender ones remained.

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus
2 tbsp salted butter
4 cloves garlic
3 tsp salt

Put a pot of water to boil. Once it's boiling add in 2 tsp of salt. Wait until it boils again and then put all the asparagus in at one go. Cover the pot and let it boil for around 3-4 mins.

While waiting, mince the garlic and cut butter 1/8 inches. Put these into a mixing bowl. Once asparagus are done sieve them (throw the water away) and pour into the mixing bowl. Mix using spatula.

Once thoroughly mixed you can sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp salt on top for extra taste or omit as you like. Serve with any meat dish. :)
