To prepare and cook green asparagus
1. Break the tip of the stem with the asparagus, discard it and rinse the asparagus in cold water. Gently peel the hard skin from the middle of the stem down with a thrifty knife.
2. Trim the small leaves at the tip with the tip of a small knife. (If you only want to keep the asparagus tips, trim them now).
3. Tie the asparagus in small bunches.
4. Bring a saucepan of salt water to the boil and immerse the asparagus for 3 to 6 minutes (depending on size) until soft and tender.
5. Immediately put the asparagus in cold water to preserve their beautiful green color.

The white asparagus should be peeled (from the middle of the stem downwards with an economical knife) before cooking, which lasts twice as long as for the green ones.
