Trim the
woody ends from the asparagus spears, then tie them
into four equal bundles.
Place the
bundles of asparagus in a large frying pan with
about 2.5 cm/1 in boiling water.
Cover with lid and
cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the asparagus is
tender but still firm. Drain well and discard the
strings.
Arrange the
asparagus spears on four warmed serving plates.
Makes the tarragon butter by creaming together the
remaining ingredients; heat it gently and pour it
over the asparagus. Serve at once.
