I like to sautee my Asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, squeezed lemon or orange, a few shakes of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce and slithered almonds.

Bacon wrapped Asparagus cooked on an outdoor grill tastes divine. I don't like the asparagus here because the stalks are too thick.

I cannot steal from cb, I must admit that her suggestion of bacon wrapped and grilled is my very favorite. Wrap a half slice of bacon around a bundle that will fit. Secure with a toothpick. Grill until the bacon is cooked to your liking. I did read one suggestion that you marinate the stalks in equal parts salt and sugar. They did not explain. I would think you dissolve the s.s. in water first, I dunno. Me? I say wine....

I can understand that...self-preservation. If it became too popular, your safety could be at stake!

Because?

commented 7 years ago

Bob/PKB

I seldom buy asparagus, because it's very expensive. It's packaged in the store to feed an army. I steam it when I do buy it, served with hollandaise sauce, which negates more salt.

commented 7 years ago

Ducky

Year round growing season there and it's expensive? That surprises me.

commented 7 years ago

Bob/PKB

Often five dollars a pound, which seems pricey to me for a vegetable. I enjoyed many vacation meals that included asparagus, though...as many as 4 stalks!

commented 7 years ago

Ducky

Wow. I just bought some a few days ago....$1.99 pound. It's a different story though during our winter when it comes from.....Florida or California! Sometimes as high as $7.99 pound...not many buyers at that price. :(

Foolishness! They'd rather it go bad than sell it for less gain.
Don't get me started on retail greed
