List of Ingredients




2 pounds medium asparagus with tough ends removed
3 Tablespoons butter, melted and kept warm
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Recipe



Fill a large, deep skillet with 1 inch of water; heat to boiling. Add the asparagus and cook until tender but still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain in a colander, but do not rinse.

Immediately return the asparagus to the still-warm skillet and toss with the remaining ingredients until well coated.

Makes 6 servings.
