Spanish Asparagus (250g)
£6.95
(£2.78 per 100g)
Gorgeous, creamy flavoured, much beloved organic asparagus. It's good for us and so easy to cook. Don’t be intimidated if you've never cooked it before - this veg needs minimal preparation and quickly serves up a treat of a side dish.
Simply slice off the woody ends and discard; then cut the stalks into 2.5cm lengths. Keeping the tips to the side for a bit, drop the other pieces into a pan of boiling salted water and cook 5 minutes. Add the tips and cook 3-5 minutes or until they're tender. Now drizzle with butter or oil and add some pepper and Parmesan on top. Perfection!

Storage & prep
Storage & prep
Simply cut off the rough ends of the stem. If you have a steaming basket, steam for 5-10 minutes. When boiling asparagus, you should use a tall, lidded pan to hold the stems upright because asparagus tips cook more quickly than the bases. We deliver two types of asparagus, depending on the season, green spears or thicker white spears. Both types will need to be kept cool and wrapped up. We recommend you eat it within two days of your weekly delivery to enjoy it at its best.
