      03 Method
      • Step 1
        Snap or cut off any woody bottoms of the asparagus spears. If working with medium-sized or large asparagus, if you want (for a fancy presentation) you can use a vegetable peeler to peel the outside of the lower inch or two of the asparagus.
      • Step 2
        Fill a large, wide skillet with about 3/4-inch of water. Add salt. Add the cut garlic and lemon peel if using. Bring the water to a boil on high heat.
      • Step 3
        Add the asparagus in an even layer. If the water doesn't cover the asparagus, cover the pan. If using thin asparagus, cook only for 1 to 2 minutes. Medium asparagus, 5 minutes. Large asparagus 6 to 7 minutes.
      • Step 4
        Rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking and then transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with salt to serve.
