Microwave Asparagus Food

MICROWAVE ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Wash the asparagus spears. Trim their ends. You can either trim enough of the ends so that the spears fit into your microwave-safe bowl, or, after trimming just the ends, cut them in half (or even chop them).
• Place the trimmed spears in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water.
• Cover with a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Use oven mitts to remove the bowl from the microwave, and be careful when removing the lid - hot steam will escape.
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with kosher salt and serve. Or season with melted butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Serve immediately.

STEAMED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Pour or spritz the water onto 4 paper towels. Spread out the paper towels and lay the asparagus on top of the dampened towels. Sprinkle with the salt. Roll up the asparagus in the dampened towels. Lay the bundle, seam side down, in the microwave. Microwave on high until the asparagus is just crisp tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave using tongs and carefully unwrap. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the asparagus in a microwave-safe dish and sprinkle with the olive oil and 1 tablespoon water, season with salt and pepper and top with the tarragon. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and seal well. Microwave for 2 minutes. Top with freshly shaved Parmesan and serve immediately.
