2 tbs grated orange rind
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus
Peeled orange slices

Procedures :
Combine butter, orange rind, and juice in saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced by half and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside and keep warm. Snap off tough ends of asparagus and remove scales from stalks with a knife or vegetable peeler. Cook asparagus, covered, in a small amount of boiling water 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Arrange asparagus in a serving dish. Pour orange sauce over asparagus. Garnish with orange slices.
