Buttered Fresh Asparagus With Lemon Zest

Directions

1. 1
   Clean and cook asparagus.

   Meantime, melt butter and add the juice of 1/2 the lemon and the zest of the whole lemon, reserving some for garnish.
3. 3
   Arrange asparagus in serving dish and pour butter mixture over.
4. 4
   Garnish with more zest.
5. 5
   I have found the best way to cook asparagus is in an electric percolator.
6. 6
   Tie the asparagus in a bundle with enough cord to hang on the outside. The stalks are in the water and the heads steam.
7. 7
   When it is done, just pull them out with the string.
