Observations:

-How to cook asparagus in a saucepan?
You can simply pour a drizzle of olive oil or a knob of butter in a pan, add your asparagus and brown them for about ten minutes over low heat, stirring regularly.

-Should the asparagus be peeled?
Regarding green asparagus, it is not necessary to peel them since they are more tender than white asparagus which must be peeled before cooking.

-What sauce to accompany asparagus?
Several sauces can go very well with asparagus, such as mousseline sauce, vinaigrette sauce, Hollandaise sauce and many more.
It can also be eaten with a drizzle of olive oil and salt flower, a treat!
