ASPARAGUS WITH BROWN BUTTER
Writing in 1991, Jacques Pépin talked of his love of asparagus, stemming back to his childhood in France. His approach to the vegetable is as uncomplicated as it gets. "It is best when cooked in just enough water to steam it," he wrote. "It is ready - tender but still a bit firm to the bite - after a few minutes." Topped with a brown butter sauce, it's a perfect accompaniment to meat, poultry or fish, but also just as at home with some white rice, part of a simple weeknight meal.

Steps:
- Peel the lower part (root end) of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler.
- In a large nonreactive saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus in one layer, cover and cook over high heat for about 6 minutes, to the desired tenderness. Lift asparagus from the water (most of it should have evaporated) and arrange on a platter.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet until it is lightly browned and stops smoking. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and pepper, and pour the hot butter over it. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, woody, or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally, or you can use a knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Make sure the balsamic butter sauce is hot when you serve it: This will help the sauce to evenly coat the asparagus and enhance its flavor.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served hot or warm. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can blanch the asparagus and then shock it in ice water. When you are ready to serve, reheat the asparagus in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through.
Conclusion:
Baked asparagus with balsamic butter sauce is an easy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the balsamic butter sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
