Asparagus Sautéed in Butter and Mustard

• 1 pound young asparagus
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When the butter has started to brown, add the mustard and lemon juice. Season generously with pepper. Cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the asparagus every now and then. The asparagus should be tender but still firm inside.

Serve immediately.
