## Instructions

1. Blanch the vegetables by boiling the asparagus for a few minutes.
2. Once boiled, immediately transfer the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain their vibrant green color.
3. In a pan, add a few tablespoons of butter.
4. Once the butter has melted, add the blanched asparagus and a few tablespoons of water.
5. Bring it to a low heat, letting the mixture emulsify to create a creamy sauce called Beurre fondu.
6. As the water reduces, the sauce will thicken; move the asparagus around to ensure it's nicely coated and creamy.
7. Remove the asparagus from the pan and plate them.
8. Grate some lemon zest over the asparagus for added flavor and garnish.
9. Serve and enjoy your delicious, restaurant-quality vegetables.
