Asparagus Tips

 

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables.  At holidays my mom steams it and drizzles hollandaise sauce over top.  I tend to grill it or bake it.  Below are a few asparagus tips to help you get the most out of the yummy vegetable.

1.  When purchasing fresh asparagus, look for stalks that are green and with closed and compacted tips.

2.  The greener the asparagus, the more tender it will be.

3.  Store stocks in a large glass or pitcher with water in the refrigerator.

4.  If your asparagus is limp, place them in a bowl with water and ice cubes for 35 to 45 minutes.

 

My new cookbook is available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!
