The theme for Monday posts in April is Asparagus.

It’s asparagus season and we eat quite a lot of it for the 5 or 6 weeks it’s obtainable.

We eat inexperienced, purple, purple-tipped white, and large, fats white. We like it all.

Nevertheless, the various kinds of asparagus are cooked in a different way. Should you attempt to prepare dinner fats white asparagus like fats inexperienced asparagus you may be disillusioned.

I’ve finished a primer right here on Asparagus. It’s after the recipe.

My different favourite spring deal with is inexperienced garlic.

Inexperienced garlic is immature garlic.  It’s harvested earlier than the person bulbs are shaped and whereas the stalks are nonetheless tender.  The complete stalk is edible, uncooked or cooked.  The garlic taste is gentle and candy.  Should you see it, don’t hesitate, don’t suppose, simply seize it shortly. 

It appears solely proper to mix the two.
