Asparagus Sautéed in Butter and Mustard


We were over in Yakima this weekend helping out Mom & Dad with their property and noticed the Asparagus signs starting to go up.  Asparagus is one of our favorite vegetables and when it is in season we like to eat it often.  The best way to keep it fresh is cut a small amount of the large end off, set them upright in about an inch or two of water, and place them in the refrigerator - they can last for weeks.

We live in little Scandinavia, more commonly known as Ballard, and found a recipe with a unique flavor twist.   You do have to be very attentive - a couple of seconds too long on the butter and the dish is toast, not asparagus.
