Mom Tips

When purchasing: the asparagus must be firm.

Thick asparagus should have its skin removed, thin asparagus does not.

Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus, but it varies from 2 to 6 minutes for thin and medium asparagus and up to 20 minutes for thick asparagus.

Serve as a starter or as a snack.
