What goes with Green Asparagus?
Green asparagus cooks unevenly because delicate tips and dense bases share one spear. Trimming and, for thick stalks, peeling the lower third creates a more consistent result. Dry heat develops nuttiness; brief moist heat keeps the colour and grassy character vivid. Egg, butter, Parmesan and lemon are classic because they add fat, savour or acid without disguising the shoot's spring profile.
