    I make it many of the ways that have already been mentioned... but I also like to add it to quiche. I usually put turkey sausage, asparagus, onion, spinach, red pepper, mushrooms and cheese in my quiche... or I use ham pieces... or bacon, but I really do like meat in my quiche.

    Fresh asparagus! snap the ends off where it breaks naturally, then steam or broil with olive oil and lemon pepper, or plain with hollandaise sauce. YUMMM-OOO!!!

    GRILLED!!! I marinate them in a little olive oil and a citrus basil seasoning. Delicious!

    Alternatively, we simply snap off the tough ends (hold the spear in the middle and at the cut end. Bend and it will snap at the beginning of the tough part) and steam in just a little water in a skillet for about 4 minutes until fork tender. Just add a little butter/margarine and salt and pepper and we gobble them up. You can also add a splash of lemon juice, but we prefer them plain with just a bit of margarine.

    I put it in a non-stick frying pan with some egg whites on top. Nicest snack!

    I like my sautéed in evoo, with some garlic. Not too long though you want a crunch to it!

    Roasted with ½ tsp of olive oil, garlic power and black pepper in the stove at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, at least 10 ounces for 2 people, about 8+ stalks each.

    Side gross note about asparagus, it makes urine smell absolutely REVOLTING!! So much so that this has become quite the deterrent since drinking 10-12 glasses of water a day means you get to experience this about 10x before it is out of your system (1 day)
