Asparagus - Bunched (250g)

Asparagus is a firm favourite and often enjoyed with eggs, fish dishes and pasta - you can find a whole host of inspiring asparagus recipes here. 

Seasonality: 

The British asparagus season is very short and typically only available from the middle of April to the end of June, so we only get a few short weeks to enjoy it. At other times of the year asparagus can be grown in polytunnels or sourced from abroad. 

To cook:

Trim the woody ends (or snap them!) then steam on high for 2-4 minutes, roast for 12 minutes at 200 degrees, boil for 2-3 minutes, or slice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

To store: 

Store in the fridge, upright in a jar with a small amount of water, and eat as soon as possible to enjoy it at its best.
