To ask you for your favourite way to cook asparagus....?

[calamaribanari]

It was an impulse buy that needs used up.

Go!

[MrsSparkles]

Plain steamed with loads of hollandaise or mayo. Can't wait for asparagus season.

[HermioneJeanGranger]

Wrapped in bacon with hollandaise sauce and a poached egg.

[EyeoftheStorm]

Roast with oil and parmesan

[ohfourfoxache]

Griddle pan with sour cream and smoked salmon and lemon

[BlurryFace]

Lightly fried in butter.

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

I saute with butter and a bit of olive oil, then toss in parmesan.

[kingscrossnoodle]

Griddle pan very lightly so it's still crunchy

[Florrick]

Asparagus. How middle class of you. Are they from Waitrose?

Expect to get flamed....along with your asparagus.

[akwan]

Roasted until crispy in olive oil and salt - served with a squeeze of lemon

[Oblomov17]

Yum!

[Funnyface1]

Wrapped in bacon, roasted in the oven.

[TuddlesAndSisses]

Mmmm!! Hot griddle pan, charred lines on the outside but still crunchy. Nothing worse than soggy flaccid over-boiled asparagus. Amazing wrapped in pancetta served with a poached egg and some hollandaise

[AdaColeman]

Steamed, then served with a couple of fried (in butter) quail's eggs.

Or

Served instead of toast with a very soft boiled egg.

[ememem84]

Wrap in ham or bacon cover with grated cheese. Grill.

[Thewoodenspoon]

Roasted in olive oil with garlic, new potatoes and halloumi.... yum yum..

[MelanieCheeks]

Steamed - you can approximate in a microwave. And then dipped into soft boiled egg.

[Anonymous1112]

Is asparagus considered posh? I'm as common as owt and have it loads when it's in season. Roasted with oil and pepper for me

[calamaribanari]

Thank you! I'll check to see what else we've got in the cupboards before committing to one of these suggestions.

Roughly how long should I be roasting / sautéing / steaming / griddling?

[MissAdaSmith]

slightly simmered or steamed. and then drowned in butter with some parmesan on top. yummy

[CointreauVersial]

Steam, then drench in melted butter.

Or dip into a runny boiled egg. Mmmm....

I'm from the Vale of Evesham, so used to eat it by the ton when it was in season. GPs had a huge asparagus bed in their garden.

[shirleycartersaidso]

Griddled with olive oil. If it's from Peru though it won't taste of much, sorry!

[Ferrisday]

Wrapped in prosciutto
Pan fried on olive oil

[BIWI]

Asparagus is middle class? What a bloody stupid statement to make.

It's more expensive than cabbage, that's true, but it's on sale in every supermarket.

[Batteriesallgone]

Either flash fry very quickly with olive oil and drenched in lemon

Or

Roasted with loads of salt

[MrsSparkles]

Cut the woody ends off. Then steam for 4 ish mins. It still needs to be firm!
