• Nice tender fresh asparagus
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• long green onion tops, or chives, or a strip of roasted red bell pepper

Prepare the asparagus, wash it well, and place it in a microwave safe dish. Cover. Microwave on high, using only 2 minutes per pound of asparagus.

Do not overcook. In meantime, combine butter and juice and when asparagus is done, season with the lemon butter.
