How To Prepare Asparagus For Cooking
Asparagus can be bought as complete stems or spears (the sensitive, top area of the stem). Before preparing these pre-trimmed asparagus tops, all you have to to do is provide them with a simple clean and they're ready. Entire asparagus needs somewhat more planning - because of their difficult 'woody' ends.
Method
Clean the asparagus and lean or snap the woody ends off the bottom of. The idea to reduce or snap are available by carefully bending the spears - there's a natural point on the stem where it'll easily break.
Using a veggie peeler, take away the outer covering of the stem, from the bottom to about halfway the spear. This can cause a shorter overall baking time as the fibrous area of the asparagus has been removed, giving a sensitive stem
It is strongly recommended to prepare food the asparagus right after preparation, if you carry out need to store it be certain to pay with a wet cloth
Uses
Once you've mastered this system give it a try with Galston Blackiston's Sea trout with carrots, asparagus and butter sauce or Colin McGurran's Hen with wild garlic clove and asparagus.
