SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND THYME
Come springtime, when stalks of asparagus shoot up from the ground (as if they're celebrating with us!), there isn't much to do to make this easy side dish shine. 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.

STEAMED ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Set up a steamer, fill the bottom with water and bring to a boil. If the asparagus are very thick, peel them. Start about 2-inch down from the tip of the stalk and peel. It is not necessary to peel thin asparagus. Cut the asparagus to fit into your steamer basket. Cover and steam until the asparagus are bright green and tender, but still somewhat crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes for thick asparagus and 3 to 5 minutes for thin asparagus. Remove from the steamer and season with salt and pepper.

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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm, plump, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. The easiest way to do this is to bend each spear until it snaps naturally. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of each spear.
- Steam the asparagus: Steaming is the best way to cook asparagus because it preserves the vegetable's nutrients and bright green color. You can steam asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water, or you can use a microwave steamer. If you are using a microwave steamer, add 1/4 cup of water to the steamer and cook the asparagus on high power for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Season the asparagus: Once the asparagus is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter, if desired.
- Serve the asparagus: Steamed asparagus can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is also a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, and stir-fries.
Conclusion:
Steamed asparagus is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steamed asparagus turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give steamed asparagus a try. You won't be disappointed!
