Asparagus with a Kick

"Holy cracker, this is asparagus but not as you know it! It’s spicy - it has an almighty kick and requires a large glass of water to be served with the dish, or cold beer. But you see, asparagus or other greenery in fact does not have to be treated reverentially, seasoned subtly and only subjected to gently sautéing in butter. This is asparagus grown-up style - none of the eggs and soldiers nonsense. And what do you know? It can stand the heat - if you can. The dish was served as a side but it can be a great starter or a standalone if served with lots of plain rice."
