Ingredients

  • pound asparagus 
  •  juice of lemon 
  • 0.5 head roasted garlic 
  • servings salt to taste

  • tablespoon water 

Equipment

    1. Add half a head of roasted garlic, the lemon juice, and the water and continue to puree.
    2. Add salt to taste. Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the tough ends (just hold a spear at the bottom and in the middle, and it should snap off in the right spot). Steam them lightly for 3 minutes or until they are bright green and just starting to become tender.

    4. Serve, trying not to fight over the last spear on the plate!
