Fresh asparagus is the highlight of spring. This hollandaise sauce is quick and easy to make when you let a blender do the muscle work for you.
To ensure perfectly cooked aparagus, an
asparagus steamer is the tool of choice. Using a steamer allows you to cook the asparagus without damaging the delicate tips. The steamer holds the asparagus upright, allowing even cooking as the stems cook at a higher heat. Boiling the asparagus can result in a loss of quality and nutrients. The nutrients are retained with the steamer since only an inch of the stems is submerged in the boiling water.
