Asparagus Roundup I
Asparagus Roundup I
The first crop of asparagus dishes is in with dishes ranging from simple to complex and homey to exotic.
Andrea of Rookie Cookery wondered: "Is there a vegetable that says 'spring' more clearly than asparagus? Tender, juicy, and vibrantly green, they burst with delicate, grassy flavor in your mouth. " Her Asparagus Frittata was the first recipe sent in.
Andrea was followed Jocelyn aka She Spills the Beans. Jocelyn spotted green garlic in her market and through that strange alchemy that brilliant cooks substitute for linear thinking came up with Asparagus & Edamame Salad with Green Garlic.
This morning I got a note from Luv2Cook at Cooking Medley. She's from India and offered Asparagus Poriyal/Vepudu, which demonstrates just how well the apparently mild-mannered vegetable holds 
it's own against assertive flavor pairings. She also offered an intriguing appetizer made with asparagus and spaghetti squash.
Lastly, I posted this recipe for asparagus parmesan which generated a lot of envy -- sadly the envy wasn't about my skill as a chef but about having been in the quite enviable circumstance of having left-over asparagus.
