Asparagus season is ending soon. Celebrate it with a delicious vegetable stew and drink the Sattlerhof Sauv Blanc with it
asparagus
Easy peasy and so delicious— puff pastry, cheese and asparagus, that’s it
The sweet, earthy fresh taste of asparagus pairs well with all those other spring flavours, chives, radishes, fresh peas as well as lemon, garlic and eggs
Soon, very soon, we will smell the dirt of the tiny new potatoes and taste earthy sweet pea shoots; the lemony tang of sorrel and the first strawberries. That’s what we crave in May and June.
Time to ease off the root veg. Instead, enjoy the fresh spring flavours of asparagus, radishes, ramps and strawberries.
Perfect dish for this weekend: It may be the last week for asparagus and fresh peas are at the farmers’ markets
Just in case you are tired of eating the recent bounty of fresh local asparagus raw in salads or lightly grilled, make asparagus involtini
We are huge fans of Edgar Farms who pioneered growing asparagus in northern Alberta, and those luscious spears are in the markets now—something to celebrate
Just a few more weeks for delicious local asparagus, available at the Bountiful, Callingwood, Old Strathcona St Albert Farmer’s Market and the Edgar’s farm shop
