Buying Asparagus




When buying asparagus: Look for firm, bright spears with closed tips. Keep in mind that 1 1/2 pounds of asparagus will feed four people. The delicate asparagus tips cook more quickly than the stalks, which are wrapped in a tough skin. To ensure perfect cooking from end to end, we recommend peeling the stalks: it is time-consuming but worth the trouble. First snap off the woody bottoms. With a paring knife, remove the skin from just below the tip to the base.
