Delicious! I love asparagus (green or white) prepared simply.

I wish we could find asparagus easily in Greece. They export nearly all production and we rarely see any. However, I’ve never seen white asparagus before. Does it differ in taste?

the sauce sounds nice. P, have you not forgotten about the scoring sheet, have you? I’ve emailed you days ago, I hope you’re alright.

White asparagus is SO good, and is actually more common here than the green variety. The mustard vinagrette you served it with sounds like a lovely addition.

Beautiful. Just when I was getting excited about the mushrooms and root veggies coming my way, you now have me missing spring!

Stunning presentation, as always.

I made white asparagus a couple of years ago, and I thought it was pretty tough. It could have been the asparagus, or it could have been my cooking. I was probably 19 or 20.
I’ll have to give it another try. You could do some cool stuff with it.

That’s interesting. We don’t get white asparagus here in Malaysia. I wonder how does it fare in terms of nutrients compared to its green relative.

I have never had white asparagus before…but this looks beautiful and sounds tasty!

It is definitely an easy starter, but no less delicious! I love asparagus now, but as a kid it was the only food I didn’t even want to look at — my mother had to force feed me every time asparagus was on the dinner table. Strange, I know … especially since I had no problem eating things like “saliggaria” (escargot) whenever my grandmother made them!
