Asparagus....help
You should trim off the ends. If the asparagus that you bought is very thick you may also want to use a vegetable peeler to remove some of the skin on the lower part, but it's not necessary.
I usually just cook them on the stovetop in a small amount of water with a teaspoon or two of butter melted in the water for about 8-9 minutes. Salt sparingly.
Cut up leftover asparagus is wonderful as an addition to salad. Especially spinach salad. Yum.

Never liked it pre RNY, but now I crave it! I keep it simple, wash, trim ends. Saute in nonstick skillet sprayed with olive oil spray till color starts to turn, flipping often kind of like Emeri does, then when almost done I hit it with about 2 Tablespoons southbeach Balsalmic Vigarette dressing, the steam from that finishes cooking it and gives it a great taste. Serve warm or cold!!!.
