A Few Asparagus Recipes: Celebrating Spring's Succulent Spears

Could there be a more representative image of spring than a couple ladybugs having sex on a spear of asparagus?

This great photo by Flickr user Benimoto inspired me to
post these links to some previously published asparagus recipes.

One of my biggest vegetable pet-peeves is undercooked asparagus. Many cooks are so afraid to overcook it, that they tend to not cook it long enoug
h, and this results in a crisp and still bitter stalk.

There's a perfect degree of doneness when the spears are barely firm, tender, and sweet. Go buy a couple bunches of fresh asparagus and give one of these recipes a try. Enjoy!
