Simple and tasty. Unfortunately, I overcooked the asparagus a little (phone interruption), but the sauce was easy and fast to make. I appreciate the fact that this is a healthy way to eat asparagus but really prefere butter based sauces.

Easy and fast is great with me and my busy schedule. These where a hit, and enjoyed by all. This is a repeater in my house! Thanks Bergy.

A lovely, more healthy way to eat asparagus than I usually make (no, I'm not tellin'!), this went VERY well chopped and mixed in with some freekeh, a roasted young green wheat cereal/grain. (Besides, who could resist repeatedly saying, "FREEKeh! FREEKeh!" I mean, really.) I used a Ziplock Zip'n Steam bag to steam (in the microwave) 1 bunch of asparagus at 1.5 minutes (800 watt) and it came out crisp and delicious. I also reduced the lemon/wine mixture to thicken the sauce slightly. Yum! Thanks, Bergy!

Heavenly. I recommend doubling the sauce. I was out of shallots, so I used green onions. Crisp asparagus and a light sauce, excellent with Bergy's Lemon Asparagus Chicken #10993
