Asparagus salad


When i was in Germany, one of my good friend S taught me a recipe for cooking asparagus. Whenever i try any other recipe with spargal(German name for asparagus, hurray i remember), it is not as good as this..
All three of us like Asparagus very much, especially the greens and i bought it yesterday. So i thought i should do a post on it.
Here is the recipe
Asparagus - a bunch
salt - a pinch
sugar - a pinch
butter - 1 table spoon
cheese - a little bit

Wash asparagus, trim the end and peel just some skin from it. If the asparagus is white, peel the skin fully, leaving the bud. Boil it in water along with a teaspoon of butter, sugar, salt and cheese. It would be done in 10 mins. Strain the water. Serve with melted butter, salt and pepper. So simple but very tasty..

This salad can also be baked with lime juice and olive oil and cheese, till the cheese melts.
