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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears for the best flavor and texture.
- Steam the asparagus until it is bright green and crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Make sure the roasted pepper sauce is hot when you serve it over the asparagus, as this will help to wilt the asparagus slightly and enhance the flavor.
- If you don't have roasted red peppers on hand, you can use jarred roasted red peppers instead.
- Garnish the asparagus with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This steamed asparagus with roasted pepper sauce is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and crisp, while the roasted pepper sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
