Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds asparagus
10 fresh basil leaves
4 fresh mint leaves
Juice of 2 lemons
1 small bunch fresh chives

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Stand asparagus, tips up, in two inches of water and steam, covered, until still slightly al dente. Remove to a serving platter.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more herbs or maybe some garlic.
