Springtime is asparagus time! This versatile vegetable is at its best when in-season and freshly picked. In soups, risottos, pasta, tarts or simply steamed. Just search Cookidoo® to discover mouth-watering recipes at your fingertips.
Shopping: choose asparagus with compact tips, firm, straight and smooth stalks with a rich green color. Try to choose asparagus with similar thickness so cooking time is the same.
Storage: cook the asparagus as soon as possible. If storing in the fridge for a few days ensure the stems are submerged in water or wrapped in damp paper towel. To freeze, blanch asparagus first.
Preparation: wash and trim the asparagus before cooking. Use the stems and the peel in soups or broth.
