Asparagus 5 Ways by Toby Amidor in 1 Food, 5 Ways, Healthy Recipes, April 20, 2011
We’re teaming up with food and garden bloggers to host Spring Fling 2011, a season-long garden party. In coming weeks, we’ll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you’re harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market.
Spring is in the air, which means it’s time for fresh asparagus. This green veggie is packed with energy boosting B-vitamins and a boatload of other nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, beta-carotene and iron. Here are 5 ways to cook it up.
Stir-Fry
Cook up a quick and easy stir-fry and don’t forget to add the asparagus for some extra crunch.
