How to prepare asparagus (Slideshow version)
Stage 6/6 :
Lay the spears on absorbant paper to wait.Your asparagus is ready.
Remarks
If the asparagus spears stay wet once cooked, they risk giving off water when eaten or when used in a recipe. This is why it is important to drain them well after cooking, even using a salad spinner.You will find a lot of recipes that advise cooking asparagus "in a bundle". I don't find this particularly effective; simply cooking them in boiling water is far quicker.
