I love "apara-grass" (I know, aparagus!), Little Minnie. It actually agrees with me. I like it best steamed and pureed with whatever herbs I'm in the mood for, with lots of sea salt. It's really good with millet. It's also great in a kugel. Totally delicious with whipped potatoes. I love making creamy asparagus soup--basically asparagus, stock, fresh herbs and potatoe to thicken it. Totally comforting. It's also great steamed and then added to sushi that you're making at home. Mmmm...dill and asparagus. It's really good with artichokes and lemon, too. Perfect with really deep earthy mushrooms that are roasted. Marvelous with dijon mustard--it gives it a little pungency and bite and a hint of egg-free eggy sort of hollaindaise-ness. Balsalmic vinegar lends beautiful acidity. When I ate egg-whites, I loved pureed asparagus swirled in the mix, the mess. Great for a homemade pizza topping. Rice vinegar gives it "tang," and seasoned rice vinegar, sweetness and tang. I just skip the garlic/onion stuff for personal reasons. Too good to add fat too. A little pickled ginger is nice with asparagus, too.
