Comment préparer Chilled Lemon Scented Asparagus

Snap off the woody ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
Place the asparagus spears in a steamer basket that fits inside the saucepan. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can create a makeshift one using a metal colander placed on top of the saucepan, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
Carefully lower the steamer basket (or colander) into the saucepan. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
Steam the asparagus for 5-8 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the spears and your preferred level of doneness. Check for doneness at 5-minute intervals. Caution: Steam is hot!
Remove the asparagus from the steamer and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Once completely cool, remove the asparagus from the ice water and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
Just before serving, zest the lemon peel using a microplane or fine grater, and lightly dust the chilled asparagus with the lemon zest.
