Once all are there to cut bare trunk. Press lightly with about 4 cm up from the bottom of the stem, gives notice that.

In a high pan, cover us up below the yolk asparagus, we take 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 of sugar per liter of water we need for cooking. Asparagus should be covered as far as the yolk begins. Also add a tablespoon of olive oil for cooking.

When it starts to boil slightly, should not be in spurts, we introduce the asparagus together and tied with a rope or fabric. Do not press hard to avoid damage, but they are set. When the water boils again we have about 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of asparagus. We can prick them with a fork to check the point.

It is important not to go because cooking asparagus are watery and bad. Turn off the heat, remove the pan and turn our bunch to the water covers the yolks well. We left another 5 or 10 minutes for it to finish and drain them on absorbent paper.
