Ingredients:
1/2 kg. asparagus, with ends cut off.
Method of preparation:
Cover the bottom of a medium saucepan with 4-5 inches of water, bring to a boil and add a steamer basket. Place the asparagus in the basket, cover and steam for 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus, until tender.
Remove and serve.
Portion for 1-2 people.
ADVICES:
- If you can't find fresh asparagus, look for frozen and stock up so you have plenty on hand. Don't worry if you can only find industrially grown asparagus - its liver benefits far outweigh the disadvantages of industrial farming. You can steam them right before a meal or make them in advance and enjoy them later – cold or reheated (no butter or oil).
- If you prefer, you can eat the asparagus raw. Just wash them, cut off the ends and eat them. By the end of the 3:6:9 Cleanse, you may find yourself appreciating this rejuvenating vegetable more than ever!
