Asparagus With Low Fat Orange Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange peel (grated)
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/2 lb asparagus (soaked clean)
4 slices oranges, halved into half moons (for garnish)

Preparation

Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice, orange peel, and cayenne. Let chill for 2 hours in refrigerator.
Soak asparagus in water for 10 minutes. Break off woody ends (ends can be used to make a vegetable stock). Purists scrape off the bud triangles on the stalk (I am not a purist.).
Set a round wire cooling rack (for cake pans or cookies) in a large frying pan. Pour water up to 1/4-inch below the cooling rack. Place asparagus on top of cooling rack. If necessary, form a second layer at a 90-degree angle to the first layer. Cover.
Heat frying pan on medium-high heat to steam asparagus for 7 minutes.
Place steamed asparagus spears on plates and top with a dollop of orange sauce. Garnish each serving with 2 half moons of orange slices.
