ROSEMARY STEAMED ASPARAGUS
I threw this together when I was trying to use up some fresh rosemary. The herb really infuses into the asparagus this way. The minty flavor of the rosemary shines here, and is softened a bit if you use the chicken broth instead of the water.

Steps:
- Season the pork tenderloin on both sides with rosemary, tarragon, salt and pepper. In a large pan, add chicken stock, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Allow the stock to simmer over medium heat. Cut the seasoned, raw pork into medallions and then place them into the simmering stock. Cook the meat until the medallions are medium rare. Remove from the pan.

Steps:
- Wash the asparagus carefully and gently scrape them to remove all trace of soil. Tie together, according to size, with string. Put the asparagus into two inches of boiling, salted water. Cook, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, according to size; the asparagus should remain al dente. Drain and put into cold water briefly to cool rapidly and to maintain color. Drain on paper towels, then place on a round platter, tips toward the center.
- Prepare a sauce with the remaining ingredients. Place all the herbs except for the additional watercress in a blender, add the salt and pepper, and blend for a second. Add the lemon juice and then the oil in a trickle to the blender on low speed. Pour the sauce over the cooled asparagus. Garnish with the reserved watercress. Serve at room temperature.

First, a sauté in the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme coaxes out the natural sweetness of the asparagus, while finishing it with a quick steam until the stalks are crisp-tender locks in vitamins like A and C.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Asparagus: Select thin to medium-sized asparagus spears with tight tips and a vibrant green color. Avoid thick spears, as they tend to be fibrous.
- Trim Properly: Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending each spear until it naturally snaps.
- Steam Asparagus Upright: Steaming asparagus upright allows the spears to cook evenly and prevents them from becoming soggy. Use a steamer basket or a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
- Cook until Tender-Crisp: Asparagus should be cooked until tender-crisp, with a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make it mushy. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the spears, so keep an eye on them.
- Season Generously: Season the asparagus with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil before steaming. You can also add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic for extra flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Steamed asparagus is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. When ready to serve, reheat the asparagus in a steamer or microwave until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Rosemary steamed asparagus is a simple yet elegant dish that highlights the natural flavors of this spring vegetable. With its vibrant green color and tender-crisp texture, steamed asparagus makes a perfect side dish for a variety of meals. Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create your favorite flavor combinations.
