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.

3 pounds asparagus
10 fresh basil leaves

5 large mint leaves
1 small handful parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Nutrition Facts : @context http, Calories 182, UnsaturatedFat 15 grams, Carbohydrate 5 grams, Fat 18 grams, Fiber 2 grams, Protein 2 grams, SaturatedFat 3 grams, Sodium 3 milligrams, Sugar 2 grams

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. Whether you enjoy it as a healthy snack or as part of a larger meal, steamed asparagus is a delicious and nutritious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
