Asparagus Green, Medium French 500g

French Green Asparagus 500g is 500g of medium-grade French green asparagus — the elegant, slender spears used extensively in French restaurant cooking. French asparagus tends to have a more refined, delicate character than British asparagus. As a result, it suits lighter, more precise preparations. Furthermore, at 500g this is a generous quantity for a side dish for four or a starter for two. In particular, medium spears suit blanching, steaming and briefly charring on a griddle.

About French Green Asparagus 500g

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 French Green Asparagus 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose French Green Asparagus 500g 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 French Green Asparagus 500g

To get the very best from French Green Asparagus 500g:

• Snap off the woody bases and blanch in well-salted boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
• Dress while still warm with good butter or olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt.
• Furthermore, French green asparagus makes an outstanding warm salad — arrange on a plate and finish with a soft-boiled egg and vinaigrette.
• Additionally, wrap in prosciutto and briefly griddle for an elegant starter that takes under 10 minutes.

Perfect Pairings

French Green Asparagus 500g pairs beautifully with:

• Brown butter and capers or a classic hollandaise alongside
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy or a crisp Pouilly-Fumé
• Soft-boiled or poached eggs for the most natural and perfect pairing
• Prosciutto, Parma ham or smoked salmon for an elegant accompaniment

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, French Green Asparagus 500g 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.
