I also love asparagus but never grew any. I grilled some tonight but what is your favorite way to make it?
I like to grill asparagus with EVOO, steam, sauté, stir fry, bake, broil, etc ... It's all good !!! If I had to pick my favorite I might have to pick steamed. I like mine on the Al Dente side but SWMBO prefers hers a little more on the mushy side. Guess who wins
About 20 miles away in the Delta and Stockton, CA there is a yearly Asparagus Festival where they serve everything Asparagus. California currently produces more than 40 million pounds of asparagus yearly on 12,500 acres. In San Joaquin County, where I live, they produce approximately 40 percent of the state's asparagus.
We used to be able to buy a lug of asparagus for about $4 ... but those days are gone!
