MICROWAVE STEAMED ASPARAGUS TIPS



Microwave Steamed Asparagus Tips image

What I love about this recipe is the ease of preparation. The asparagus comes out still crisp. To make things easier I use a Tupperware microwave steamer and I have a gadget called "Misto" that you put olive oil in to mist your foods. Cooking time includes standing time.
