Easy asparagus recipes are fast to make, tasty to eat and healthy to have in your cooking repertoire. I have no idea why people want to steam their vegetables especially one like asparagus.
When it steamed, especially over steamed it has tendency to have bitter under taste.
I think this way of cooking vegetables got bad reputation, but it’s not the case in my kitchen. I love steaming process but vegetables are not present in that list.
How to pick asparagus
You should buy asparagus only from places that refrigerate their asparagus or store it standing upright in cold water. You should pick firm stalks with tight leaves on top.
When you bring asparagus home, wrap stalks in damp paper towels and store in the crisper in your fridge until you ready to prepare them.
Asparagus tastes in it's best when cooked soon after been purchased.
