Ingredients
Directions
- Peg asked for asparagus recipes. Was going to post to her privately, but it dawned on me which I've not seen any microwave recipes for this (do not laugh). Once I discovered how tasty and easy this is, it's the only way I cook them anymore. This comes from Litton Microwave Cooking Step By Step
- Pour water in 12 X 8 inch dish. Stir in salt and/or possibly sugar. Snap off tough ends from asparagus. Arrange asparagus spears in dish with buds toward center. Cover with ventilated plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH 4 min.
- Rearrange so spears on outside of dish are brought to middle. Keep buds toward center of dish. Cover. Microwave 2 1/2 to 5 min more till tender.
- *My note: I cook for 4 minutes.- rearrange and cook for 3 more min. Serve
- "as is" or possibly lightly drizzle with squeeze style Parkay (or possibly similar)
- "butter/marg." You can also drizzle them with the vinegar style pepper sauce as when eating cooked greens. If used without the "butter" type substitute, I do not know the numbers on it but seems like it would have to be a good, low fat veggie dish. "Toothsome" Mike in Houston
