Steps:
- Coarsely chop the bell peppers and onion. Place them in a heavy pot with the rest of the ingredients except the asparagus and the remaining yellow bell pepper. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 30 minutes. The mixture should be very soft. Uncover and let it cool to room temperature.
- Put the cooled mixture into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Then press the sauce through a fine sieve to eliminate bits of skin.
- Heat boiling water in the bottom of a steamer. Put the asparagus in the steamer basket, cover, and cook until done, about three minutes.
- Spoon some red pepper puree on each of four salad plates. Arrange the asparagus neatly on top. Garnish each plate with the diced pepper and a few grindings of black pepper.

s-boy59@hotmail.comThis recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few changes. First, I would add some garlic to the sauce. Second, I would cook the asparagus for a shorter amount of time so that it is still slightly crunchy.
