  • Asparagus: How do you eat yours?

    Who loves asparagus? Here at GYO we're already looking forward to the first spring spears – preferably dipped into the yolk of a soft boiled egg – yum!

    We'd love to hear your favourite ways to eat this tasty veg. Why not let us know your most-loved recipes?


    Your answers may be edited and published in GYO's April issue.

    par boiled, lightly cooked in butter for a few moments and then naked . No additions, just as nature intended

      I usually just steam mine and eat it while it's still got a nice crunch - hate it overcooked as it become mushy like the bottled stuff you can buy in the supermarket. My mum likes it with mushrooms in a veggie lasagne with a lightly cheesed sauce. Seems a long way off at the moment

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        Well- I've tried them in quiches, soup, lightly roasted, dunked in an egg, ...but do you know what?..... I think they're much nicer freshly cut, then lightly steamed and rolled in butter, and lovingly munched!

          They go really well in a green risotto too. We add peas, beans, broccoli sometimes avocado, courgettes (anything to use them up!) and anything else green that we have at the time.

            nobody else eat asparagus? It's the one veg that would persuade me to go veggie. Well apart from carrots and peas and green beans and parsnips and tatties oh and courgettes and cabbage and cauliflower and broccoli. oops forgot beetroot and celery and celeriac. Nah, forget it, I like my beef too much

              Griddled in a light buttered wavy pan and then straight into my soft boiled eggs. Good French salt and cracked black pepper are a must but just a smidgen. Always with fingers and much licking/slurping. Cut and quick to pot/pan is best, like sweetcorn!

                Fresh cut and raw, like peas, to keep the crunch and the sweetness.

                    Wrapped up in some Parma ham then brushed with a little butter and popped in the oven for a couple of mins. I hate it when its flaccid too!

                      I pick it up off the side of the plate and eat it one by one first, then use the knife and fork to eat whatever else there is - lovely

                            Steamed, then on a "good" day, with vinaigrette. On a really good day, with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. (Dribbles as I type.....)

                              like the majority of people, i just lightly steam them and then add a little butter once cooked - simple, but delicious!
