Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
- Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
- Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the asparagus.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus is mushy and bland. You can cook asparagus in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, or grilling. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
- Make the hazelnut butter ahead of time. The hazelnut butter can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve the asparagus, simply bring the hazelnut butter to room temperature.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to hold the asparagus for a short time, keep it warm in a low oven or on a warming tray.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with hazelnut butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a spring or summer meal. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the hazelnut butter adds a rich and nutty flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, folate, and fiber.
