Asparagus with Ginger and Lemon

(makes 6 servings)

olive oil cooking spray

1/2 cup (45 g) chopped scallions

2 tablespoons (30 g) minced fresh ginger

3 cloves garlic minced

Break off the ends of the asparagus spears and discard. Peal asparagus only if the spears are thick. Cut the spears into 3 inch pieces and set aside.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Sauté the scallions for 3 minutes until wilted. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Add the water and asparagus; bring to a boil. Boil for about 4 minutes until crisp cooked and most of the waiter has evaporated. Using a slotted spoon transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and toss with grated lemon rind and pepper.
