Steps:
- Wash the asparagus and trim off the ends. Cut the stalks into bite-sized pieces.
- In large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the asparagus, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the largest pieces are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. This depends on the thickness and maturity of the asparagus, so it's different every time! Taste and remove when it's just tender and still bright green, but not crunchy (cook a minute longer if you need to).
- Meanwhile, zest the lemon and juice it. When the asparagus is done, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. (Optional: top with feta cheese crumbles or shredded Parmesan.)

WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH ORANGE BUTTER
White asparagus, which is grown without sunlight, to keep it from becoming green, is the preferred form for the vegetable in Europe. This recipe makes an excellent first course, with the mildly nutty flavor of the asparagus pleasantly offset by the citrus.

Steps:
- Juice 5 oranges over a sieve, yielding about 1 1/2 cups. Zest 1 orange. Using a paring knife, remove skin, pith, and outer membrane from remaining orange. Carefully cut each segment away from white membranes. (This is called supreming the orange). Set segments aside.
- Place asparagus in a large saute pan. Add 1/2 inch of water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and steam asparagus to tenderize, about 8 minutes. Just before asparagus are fully cooked, drain liquid from the saute pan. Add 1/4 cup orange juice, and simmer until the asparagus are fork-tender. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and steam while finishing sauce.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups orange juice to a boil. Add vinegar, lower heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove from heat, and stir in butter, one piece at a time, until sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer asparagus to a warm platter, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with reserved orange segments, zest, and tarragon.
BUTTER-BRAISED ASPARAGUS
For the first-of-the-season asparagus, keep it simple with butter, lemon and sweet herbs. For the best texture, peeling the stalks really makes a difference.

Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
- Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
- Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.
