Asparagus.
Even if the season is very short, English asparagus is
always top quality and in my view is well worth the wait. It has an unbeatable
freshness and flavour. Not like the stuff our supermarkets fly half way round
the world.
I always try and get mine from a Farm shop / Farmers Market
or a local market such as Chesterfield,
Doncaster or Sheffield.
I have to say that I
like my asparagus lightly cooked and served with melted butter or a fresh
poached egg, yum! – And if it does all get eaten I will often make an Asparagus
risotto.
I just love the simple qualities of fresh seasonal food.
