METHOD

Snap off the woody bottom of the asparagus spear at its natural breaking point. Peel any thick, woody stems.
Lay the asparagus flat in a frying pan filled with simmering water. Cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
A well-cooked spear of asparagus should be tender and bend when you pick it up with a fork; it should not droop over.
