List of Ingredients





12 asparagus spears
2 Tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley, crushed
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Recipe



To prepare fresh asparagus, wash stems; snap off and
discard woody bases. Do not peel.
Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a medium saucepan. Add
water to just below basket. Bring water to boiling. Add
asparagus to steamer basket. Cover and steam for 5-8 minutes
or until tender.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan combine butter, basil,
oregano, and dash pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat
just until heated through or until butter almost completely
melts. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Using a French
whip, whisk until it forms a blended mix, add cream and
continue whisking until it becomes a thickened lemon colored
mixture.
Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon
mixture. Garnish with a twisted orange slice or lemon slice
