List of Ingredients
- 3 pounds pencil-slim asparagus, trimmed of tough stems
- Simmering salted water
- 4 to 6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup snipped chives
- 3 tightly packed tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus spears well to rid them of sand. Fill a large skillet two-thirds full of water and add about 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil.
- Drop in the asparagus and cook 2 minutes. Test stalks with a knife. If they are still somewhat firm, drain the asparagus immediately in a colander. Rinse with cold running water. Drain.
- Lay out asparagus spears in a storage container. Drizzle with olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Roll gently to coat. Serve at room temperature.
