Introducing Large Green Asparagus: South American Gem!
Harvested from regions in South America like Peru and Mexico, green asparagus brings a taste of spring with every bite. Thanks to the mild climates in these areas, large green asparagus thrives and develops a tender, delicate texture. The stalks are thin yet firm, offering a slight crispness when cooked perfectly. The flavour of this vegetable is vibrant and fresh, often described as grassy or earthy, with a mild sweetness that pairs beautifully with simple seasonings. When sauteed, roasted or grilled, the outer layer becomes slightly caramelised, enhancing its natural sweetness while retaining a pleasant bite inside.
Large Green Asparagus Cooking Suggestions
Steaming: Steam until just tender, for a light and crisp texture.
Sauteing: Saute in olive oil or butter for a quick, flavourful option.
Roasting: Roast at a high temperature to bring out its natural sweetness and create a slight char.
Grilling: Grill to add a smoky flavour and beautiful grill marks.
Blanching: Blanch briefly in salted water, then shock in ice water for vibrant colour and crunch.
Large Green Asparagus Serving Suggestions
Hollandaise Sauce: Drizzle with hollandaise sauce for a rich, classic combination.
Eggs: Pair with poached eggs for a simple yet refined breakfast.
Seafood & Meats: Serve alongside grilled salmon or seared steak for a balanced meal.
Cheese & Nuts: Top with shaved parmesan and toasted almonds for added crunch and flavour.
Salad: Add to a fresh spring salad with arugula and goat cheese.
