Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound asparagus
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces

Steps:

  • Peel the asparagus, using a swivel-bladed knife, starting about 2 inches from the top. Remove the tough ends.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the asparagus. Add salt and the asparagus and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp tender. Drain well, reserving 3 tablespoons of the liquid. Arrange on warm platter.
  • Combine the shallots, lemon juice and reserved liquid in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until half the liquid evaporates. Add butter gradually, stirring rapidly with a whisk. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring rapidly, 1 minute. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus and serve.
