Buttered Fresh Asparagus With Lemon Zest - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. fresh asparagus or 2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen
1 lemon
3 Tbsp. butter, melted

Preparation

Clean and cook asparagus.
Meantime, melt butter and add the juice of 1/2 the lemon and the zest of the whole lemon, reserving some for garnish.
Arrange asparagus in serving dish and pour butter mixture over.
Garnish with more zest.
I have found the best way to cook asparagus is in an electric percolator.
Tie the asparagus in a bundle with enough cord to hang on the outside. The stalks are in the water and the heads steam.
When it is done, just pull them out with the string.
