Asparagus Green, Large 250g

Green Asparagus Large 250g is 250g of large-grade green asparagus — thick, substantial spears with a bold, grassy flavour. Large asparagus spears have a more robust texture than thinner grades. As a result, they suit grilling and roasting where the char brings out the best of their flavour. Furthermore, large spears are ideal for wrapping in prosciutto or serving as a substantial side dish. In particular, they suit cooking methods that add colour and caramelisation.

About Green Asparagus Large 250g

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Green Asparagus Large 250g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Green Asparagus Large 250g From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Green Asparagus Large 250g

To get the very best from Green Asparagus Large 250g:

• Snap off the woody ends where each spear naturally breaks.
• Roast at 220°C with olive oil for 10 to 12 minutes until the tips char and the stems are just tender.
• Furthermore, large asparagus suits the griddle — cook 3 to 4 minutes per side for striking char marks and a rich flavour.
• Additionally, wrap each spear in a thin slice of prosciutto and roast at 200°C for 12 minutes for an elegant starter.

Perfect Pairings

Green Asparagus Large 250g pairs beautifully with:

• Hollandaise sauce or a simple brown butter — the definitive asparagus pairings
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy or a glass of English sparkling wine
• Soft-boiled eggs, aged Parmesan or prosciutto alongside
• Grilled fish, roasted salmon or poached chicken as the main course

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Green Asparagus Large 250g brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
