Asparagus Flan with Mint-Pea Puree and Wilted Pea Shoots
2008-06-05 21:09:00 I got to the JFX market a little late on Sunday, but I was still able to get my hands on some great spring produce (although they still don’t have too much of it – it’s mostly flowering plants and food vendors). In addition to a few pounds of asparagus (which I love), I picked up lots of mint and pea shoots, which I’ve never before seen at the market. Pea shoots are the tops of pea plants, and

In the bag challenge - asparagus twists
2008-05-14 06:34:00 Just before we get mired in the world of turnips, Alexandra wanted to enter Real Epicurian's May "In the Bag" blogging challenge. Alphabetical eating is not always seasonal and we wanted to enjoy the English asparagus that is now in season. The ingredients in this month's challenge include asparagus and egg. I first learnt about asparagus' twists from Anna, a Swedish woman, with whom I sometimes work. As we waited for the kettle to boil, she told me about the recipe.

Asparagus: In the Bag
2008-05-11 01:00:00 The short but glorious British asparagus season is underway now, and we can enjoy this fabulous vegetable in its prime once again. Be sure to make the most of it while it lasts as it?s only here until the end of June.The sooner you can eat asparagus after picking the better, as its sugars turn to starch very quickly, so try to buy it as fresh as possible and don?t leave it lying around for days in the fridge. It hardly needs any cooking at all - just 3 to 5 minutes depending on its thickness ? and you can boil, steam, grill or roast it; you can even serve it raw.Asparagus not only tastes fantastic but it?s really good for us, being full of vitamins. It?s particularly good for pregnant women, as it?s high in folic acid; 80g contains 60% of the recommended daily allowance*. It?s also said to be an aphrodisiac so perhaps a good pre-pregnancy vegetable too!Over at Real Epicurean Scott is hosting May?s ?In the Bag? event and how could we not make asparagus the feature?

Asparagus and Urine Odor - What Causes It
2008-05-03 23:59:00 Does asparagus make your urine smell funny? If so, you're among sbout 50% of the population that notices an odor in their urine after eating asparagus. Marcel Proust wrote about the situation in Swann's Way: ... the precious essence that I recognized again when, all night long following a dinner at which i had eaten them, they played, in farces as crude and poetic as a fairy play by Shakespeare, at changing my chamber pot into a jar of perfume. This change in your chamber pot is caused by a certain sulfur compound in asparagus called mercaptan that imparts a strange odor to the urine. It's the same compound that gives skunks their offensive odor. Nobody's really sure why only half the world's urine takes on this skunky odor after eating asparagus, but there are theories. One theory is that only half the population has the gene that enables the body to break down mercaptan. Another theory is that everyone's urine smells after eating asparagus, but only half the popul...

How to Freeze Asparagus
2008-05-03 10:53:00 It's asparagus season and time to make this wonderful vegetable part of your diet. But what if you buy too much and want to freeze it? Or what if your local store has a sale on asparagus and you want to buy a lot and freeze it to use all summer? First, wash the selected spears. Remove the scales from the stalks with a knife and cut off any tough ends. Cut into lengths to fit your container. Next you'll want to blanch the asparagus in boiling water for different lengths of time depending on the size of the spears. Small spears need to be blanched for about 2 minutes, medium spears for 3 minutes, and large spears for 4 minutes. Take out of the water immediately and cool by placing in ice water. Once they are cool, drain and dry the spears well. Place into freezer bags or other airtight freezer containers. A good way to place them in the container is by alternating tips and stems as you lay them on top of each other. Related Content How to Freeze Strawberries How to...

Veal and Asparagus with Basil Mayo
2008-04-14 17:54:00 This meal is quick to make and very light and healthy, makes for a great summertime dinner that you can have on the table in 30 Min's, so a great after work recipe. I used veal scallops and did 4 per person, about 200g in weight for each person. I know this cut can be quite expensive so feel free to make this with veal cutlets of similar weight, taste just as good but kinder on the wallet. I used the scallops, as hubby had just come home from a business trip and wanted a light meal as he is never to hungry after a long flight, but I also wanted something a little more special hence the cut.If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page.

Spring Risotto: Risotto with Asparagus, Peas, Parsley, and Lemon
2008-04-04 06:55:00 When my mom visits me (which she is currently doing), I love to cook meals for her that she would normally never make for herself. Being that it is supposedly spring (it was 50 degrees in Baltimore on Thursday despite the fact that it was 75 degrees on Tuesday…what is going on???), I decided to make a spring risotto. I had bought a few pounds of asparagus a few days ago in a fit of spring fever, so some of it was definitely going into the risotto. (I bought way more asparagus than I needed for the meal I made a few days ago…sometimes I get carried away.) To further springify the risotto, I added a few things that I always have on hand but are springy nonetheless: peas, parsley, and lemon. Oh, and sauvignon blanc. There’s always New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in my fridge; I have a slight (read: major) obsession with it. 20 minutes and a little bit of stirring later (yes, just a little – risotto isn’t as fickle and stir-crazy as it’s made out to be...
Souffleed Omelet with Goat Cheese, Asparagus, and Prosciutto
2008-04-04 05:17:00 I think eggs are a fabulous food because a) you can eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack (also known as any time at all) and b) you can do a billion different things with them. And they're good for you too (in moderation)!! Remember when eggs had a bad name? And then all the sudden it became "the incredible edible egg" and "I love eggs from my head down to my legs." They can be so incredibly easy (scrambled) or fancy schmancy (souflee).Last week when I was looking for recipes that involved asparagus and goat cheese, I got a little too excited and found a few too many. I couldn't decide which to make so I figured I'd just make them all. Why not? So today I made what I like to refer to as an omelet, only more complicated- Martha Stewart's Souffleed Omelet with Goat Cheese, Asparagus, and Ham. But I couldn't find Serrano ham anywhere (why not??) and had to use prosciutto. So, this is basically a combination of all the dinners I've been making lately.The first step of t...
Pasta with Goat Cheese and Roasted Asparagus
2008-03-28 17:21:00 I had bought lots of beautiful asparagus from Russo's last week and needed to use it before it went bad. When I saw this Martha Stewart recipe that involved asparagus AND goat cheese, I automatically decided to make it. I really enjoy making pasta dishes, especially near the end of the week. They always give me lots of leftovers, making it easy to grab a quick meal before going out on a Friday or Saturday night. It was really quick and easy to make and involves very few ingredients. First, put the asparagus on a pan with a teaspoon of butter sprinkled around.Bake it at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until it's nice and tender. Meanwhile, boil your pasta until it's al dente. The recipe called for cavatappi, but I used fusilli because I thought it was prettier (and a little less macaroni salad-ish). When you drain your pasta, be sure to save about 1 1/2 cups of the water. The sauce for the pasta involves about 5 ounces of goat cheese and 3 tablespoons of butter. OK, so it's not th...

Becky's Easter Asparagus
2008-03-22 19:30:00 Easter is almost here, which means my mind is on Becky?s Easter Asparagus.Becky is my brother?s godmother, and my parents are godparents to Becky?s son Matthew. Further, Becky divorced and remarried my godfather (who had also divorced). I guess that makes Becky my step-godmother? Once removed? It's tricky. Oh, those crazy Episcopalians.Anyway, Becky is a dear family friend (our families spent a lot of time camping together; there?s something about living in tents and being grungy that brings you closer), and every year she hosts a post-church, potluck Easter lunch at her beautiful, brown-shingled house nestled in the Berkeley hills.I haven?t been to Becky?s party for many years (my parents still go, though), but I have fond memories of those Easters past. In true bay area fashion, most every one felt more like Christmas, blanketed with fog and chilly with damp and dew. Yet everyone at Becky?s gathered outside, huddled in groups of three or more for heat as much as for conversation....

let me read your asparagus
2008-03-14 05:10:00 We have heard of people who claim to tell the future by reading: the palm of your hand, tea leaves, skin moles, coffee grounds, and stars. There was even the story of a man who claimed he could tell the future by reading a person's buttocks. (see link below)But now, there's a new one: asparagus.Jemima Packington of Worcester in England claims that she can tell a person's future by looking at how asparagus lands after it is tossed in the air.She refers to herself as an "asparamancer" and says that she learned of her gift when she was a child.In an interview with BBC News, she said, "I can't even remember what prediction I made when I was young but my family went very quiet and it came true and the rest is history."
