Edible parts

Young shoots

Recipe idea with your ‘Guelph Millenium’ asparagus harvest. Prepare a stir-fry of asparagus to accompany eggs or a grain dish. Rinse the young spears and remove their fibrous ends if necessary. Cut the stalks into pieces, keeping the tips separate. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan and first add the stalk pieces with a spoonful of water. Cover briefly to tenderize them, then add the tips and continue cooking uncovered. The asparagus should remain quite firm to hold its shape. Add a knob of butter, lemon zest, and pepper before serving. The diameter of the spears matters for cooking: cut the larger ones lengthwise so they cook at the same rate as the thinner ones. Avoid overcooking, which would soften the tips before you can present them. A little grated cheese or a poached egg completes this simple dish.
