Our Top Tip: How to Prepare and Serve
Simplicity is key to enjoying white asparagus. Its delicate flavor shines when it's not overpowered by other ingredients.
Classic Preparation: The most traditional method is to peel the tough outer skin (the bottom two-thirds) and boil the spears in lightly salted water until tender.
Simple Pairing: Serve the cooked spears with a little melted butter, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of lemon juice. For a more traditional touch, a classic hollandaise sauce is a perfect pairing.
Pan-Fried: Gently pan-fry the blanched spears in butter with a little salt and pepper until golden brown. It’s delicious on its own or served alongside a piece of steak or fish.
