Asparagus is great served as a starter, for lunch, as a side dish, on top of pasta, with a fritata, or even as breaky with an egg. Keep the asparagus in the fridge. If you cut 1 cm. off the bottoms and stand in a glass of water they should last a while. What you need: 

• Asparagus, 5 pieces

• Salt, pepper

Optional extras:

• Cheese, grated
• Slices of ham
• Tomato
• Poached egg or two

It’s super easy to make - just:

2. Cut off tough bottoms of the asparagus, drop into the water.
3. Cook for up to 5 mins. Just test it and see that it’s not too crunchy. And serve!

If you happen to buy the really thin smaller type just cook for 1-2 mins.Serve: Just drain it and crack salt pepper on top and eat. Or wrap in a slice of ham, or under eggs or cheese, or as a sidedish.
