Zubereitung von Asparagus With Basil Parmesan Butter
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- While the asparagus cooks, prepare the butter mixture: In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Drain the asparagus thoroughly and arrange it in a single layer on a broiler-safe baking sheet.
- Drop spoonfuls of the Parmesan-basil butter mixture evenly over the asparagus.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
