Boiled Asparagus

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Cut off the woody part of the asparagus and wash it well.

  2. In a casserole, lay the asparagus with the heads all in one direction.

  3. Half cover the asparagus with boiling water and cover the casserole.

  4. Place in a 400°F (200°C) oven and cook until tender, about 20 to 40 minutes.

  5. Serve on toast with or without a thin cream sauce.
