Below are some ideas for different sizes and types of asparagus:
Small – Pencil-thin and perfect in wraps or spring rolls. Delicious with dips on a raw vegetable platter.
Standard – Talk about versatility! Use as an ingredient in pasta or as a gourmet pizza topping. Add to omelet or quiche recipes. Use raw as a garnish in cocktails like Bloody Marys and martinis.
Large – Great steamed with butter, lemon zest and diced almonds to accompany meat, chicken or fish. Or serve raw, wrapped in a slice of smoked turkey or prosciutto.
Extra Large – Roast with a touch of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic for a simple, Mediterranean-inspired side dish.
Jumbo – Marinate in your favorite vinaigrette and throw onto the barbeque or grill for a tasty side that will enhance any entree.
White – An elegant alternative to green asparagus. Sautee in butter with wild mushrooms or enjoy raw in a salad with baby greens, blue cheese and walnuts.
Purple – A real show-stopper! Use raw in salads or with fresh herbs as an unforgettable garnish. Combine with green and white asparagus for a colorful contrast.
Microwavable – Fast, delicious and no cleanup! The quickest way to enjoy delicious, healthful fresh green asparagus.
