Asparagus season is tantalizingly close, so it’s time to dig out those asparagus recipes! Here are some of my favorite recipes with asparagus in them:
- Plain Old Asparagus: When I was young, this was the only way we ate asparagus. I looked forward to it every year. Simply boil in salted water until cooked (not overcooked though, you want a bit of toothsomeness left), drain, add a little butter and salt. Heaven!
- Sugared Asparagus: A surprisingly not-too-sweet side dish
- Asparagus Soup: Because sometimes it can still be a bit cool this time of year. Great on a rainy day.
- Roasted Asparagus (great with lamb)
- Sausage Asparagus Skillet: Kid-friendly as it also includes ground beef.
- Lemon Asparagus Pasta: Also includes chives, definitely a spring dish!
- Creamed Asparagus Omelet: Also works for spinach. Great brunch item.
- Asparagus Oven Pancake: A base recipe that you can make either savory (with vegetables like asparagus) or sweet, using fruit.
- Grilled Asparagus: A great addition to salmon, other vegetables, and lots of cheese in a foil packet.
- Asparagus with white sauce.
