Asparagus With Lemon

Asparagus are polarising for some people, but they’re such a fantastic green to be eating in early summer, and a refreshing alternative from broccoli and spinach as it gets warmer.

This recipe is so tasty - the fresh lemon juice adds a real pop of flavour. Cooking time is also less than 10mins from beginning to end - my kind of meal!
