Ingredients for 4 people:

* 1 kg asparagus
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation:

Asparagus should be cooked over steam – in a basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover them and steam for 5 minutes or until they become soft (in the length of steaming is the difference between cultivated and wild asparagus). Rinse them with cold water and carefully dry them. Mix oil and lemon juice and pour it over the asparagus. Put pepper and salt on it if desired, and serve at room temperature.
