| 1 | small | onion | minced |
| 1 | x | salt | |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoons | capers | rinsed & chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon | lemon juice | |
| 1 | x | salt and black pepper | to taste |
| 1 | each | mint | leaf |
| 1 | pound | asparagus | thin |
Place onion & salt in a bowl large enough to hold the asparagus. Mix well & let steep for 30 minutes.
Add the capers, lemon juice & mint leaf & marinate for at least 1 hour. Mix thoroughly from time to time.
Meanwhile, bring an asparagus cooker to a boil & cook the asparagus until tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain.
Toss the still warm asparagus with the marinade & add salt & pepper. Toss gently & serve.
Very authentic Italian. The onion marinade with capers compliments the asparagus well.

Ask anyone where you're likely to find the largest variety of chile pepper plants in America and you're sure to...
Great way to serve brocolli. I add a bit of lemon juice, smidge of seasame oil (tastes more like Asian brocolli than Italian). Cook/steam the brocolli in a few tablespoons of water in a pot with a tight fitting lid instead of boiling. No more than 5 minutes in my opinion or it's overdone.
