| Watching some vids to pan fry in olive oil, why do some boil in water for two minutes, then put in ice water, then put in frying pan? Does it make it crispier, I don't want soggy veggies. |

Oven 400 degrees Put asparagus on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Salt and pepper. Cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on thickness of spears. my wife bakes it also, it turns out to be crispy on the tips. it is fantastic. (other than the oven part this guy maybe bat shit crazy, i have no idea other than oven.)

Pre blanching it cooks the tissue, then frying flavors the outside skin. Otherwise the skin gets overcooked before the inside is tender. I use butter, not olive oil. Tastes better. Quoted:

I'm deprived only ever having canned. Noticing most of it is from Peru, maybe I'll try to grow my own. Growing them is quite the process. I have a 2' X 16' asparagus bed that is ~ 5 years old and is producing very well. I also started another bed this year. You can only start harvesting the 3rd year. If you get a good bed going, you will have a hard time keeping up with how much is produced!

Buy skinny asparagus(#2 pencil or skinnier). Cut the base off. Place in a pan with water. Bring to a boil. Drain. Toss with butter and salt. Enjoy. Pee stinkily. |

Ive been picking and eating it for a month. Fry bacon, sautee asparagus in bacon fat when done, roast in oven with a little oil and italian herbs, steam, grill, add cheese or not, butter or not, usually a little salt and pepper, we had a weekend where we picked more than i was going to eat so i pickled a bunch, yum.
Lots of ways to enjoy asparagus. Chopped up and added to a fritatta is absolutely delicious.
