Cook Time:
Simple, easy, quick and very tasty, put a bit of butter or margerine on the asparagus when you serve them if you want I don't bother they are so flavorsome plain
Directions:
1
Wash the asparagus and snap of the tough bottom stem.
2
Bring to a boil 1 1/2 cups water in a fairly large saucepan (large enough so the spears can lay flat).
3
Slice the lemon and put it in the pot along with the oregano and water.
4
When it is at a roiling boil put in the asparagus cover and cook 3 minutes.
5
The spears should be heated through but still crisp.

I'd never had asparagus with lemon and it was a wonderful change - word of advice ... watch how much lemon you use :)

Our local super had a sale on asparagus and I decided to try this recipe Friday night. The lemon and oregano gave the asparagus a surprisingly wonderful flavor. The asparagus was a side dish to my Oven Baked Maine Fish. Will definite keep it in my recipe file. Thanks, Bergy!
