Ingredients
8 large green asparagus spears

Method
Wash asparagus and snap off and discard woody ends. Peel lower parts of stems. Add asparagus to boiling salted water and cook until 'al dente' — about 3 minutes. Drain, then plunge asparagus into a large bowl of iced water for 30 seconds; drain well. Slice asparagus on the diagonal.
Carefully peel the eggs, cut in half and arrange on a platter with the asparagus. Garnish with herbs and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
