Asparagus With Nutmeg Butter image

Adapted from an old cookbook which suggested it as a good accompaniment to a dinner omelet. I just love asparagus, in fact I never met one I didn't like, except of course for the dreaded overcooked asparagus.

Time 11m

Yield 16 spears, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a skillet, bring enough water to cover asparagus to a boil over medium high heat. Add salt to taste and asparagus and cook 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the asparagus. Be careful not to overcook and bear in mind that they will continue to cook even after they are drained.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan to melt. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and nutmeg. Swirl to blend; pour over asparagus and serve.
