Come springtime, when stalks of asparagus shoot up from the ground (as if they're celebrating with us!), there isn't much to do to make this easy side dish shine. First, a sauté in the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme coaxes out the natural sweetness of the asparagus, while finishing it with a quick steam until the stalks are crisp-tender locks in vitamins like A and C.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Prepare asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. You can also peel the spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Cook asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and verliert its flavor.
  • Serve asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can blanch the asparagus and then store it in ice water until you are ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are roasting it, grilling it, or steaming it, asparagus is sure to please. With its delicate flavor and crisp texture, asparagus is a perfect addition to any meal. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give asparagus a try.
