Content: In a wide pot, boil a few inches of generously salted water and add your asparagus, either whole stalks or cut into pieces. Cook at a rapid simmer for 1 minutes. Then immediately plunge the spears into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking and to keep them green. Remove from ice water and blot, otherwise risk waterlogged asparagus. Raw
Tender, sweet asparagus can be delicious raw and dressed simply with olive oil, lemon and salt. And you don’t even need to turn on your stove. Fat asparagus works best in raw preparations, like this fast recipe for a delicious asparagus salad. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, slice 6 to 8 fat asparagus spears very thinly on the diagonal. ( Alternatively, you can cut them on a mandoline, or use a peeler to slice them lengthwise into long, thin ribbons.) Pile them into a bowl and dress with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil and a few pinches of salt.
