FAQ
Asparagus is great quickly stir-fried or sautéed over high heat. You could sauté spears in butter or olive oil with delicious results, but throwing some chopped herbs or sliced chiles into the pan adds wonderful flavor. Both of these methods produce juicy asparagus that retains its crunch.
But spears that come from small farms or your garden require extra care. Soak in cold water for about 15 minutes, gently agitating every so often to loosen any sandy soil trapped in tips or fins; then lift asparagus from the water, leaving grit behind.
It is not necessary to trim asparagus. On some spears, especially fresh, pencil-thin stalks, the woody ends may tenderize once cooked. But on larger stalks, the ends of the asparagus are often woody and dense—Which makes them difficult to chew, no matter how soft the asparagus is after cooking.
These asparagus recipes pair well with nearly every main course, whether you're grilling out or cooking in: steaks and burgers, chicken of all kinds, salmon, scallops and shrimp, mushroom risotto, simple pasta with garlic and olive oil, omelets and frittatas.
Because of its tough texture, cooking is the most popular preparation method. However, thinly sliced or marinated raw spears can be equally enjoyable. Cooking may enhance antioxidant activity in asparagus, but it can also contribute to nutrient loss.
