 Asparagus With Hollandise Sauce



I can hear you already going what on earth is that?????

Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.



So onto the recipe.....

2. 1 batch hollandaise (see below or recipe)

Second things steps...
Ingredients
1. Fill a large roasting pan 1/2 inch high with water.
2.  Place asparagus in an even layer in roasting pan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 
3. Cook, turning, until asparagus are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. 
4. Drain asparagus and serve with hollandaise sauce

Now simple disclosure I will on occasion borrow pictures from other sites if I did not take one and
