Asparagus overbuy

[Anonymous]

I just put groceries away and realized that I have a ridiculous amount of asparagus in the house. Recipe ideas, please....and/or any experience w freezing it?

Increase your serving size from five to seven spears.

If it's thin spears-I like it grilled.

I like it steamed with a mustard-cream sauce. Or chopped up for a risotto.

Cut diagonally in to about 1/2 and use in a salad raw

Cream of asparagus soup!

[Anonymous]

Yes, risotto!
Chilled soup.
Chunks stirred into mashed potatoes. (For this you have to parboil the chunks then shock them in cold water, so they're cooked but still have some crunch, not mushy.)

Make a frittata with asparagus.

I was also going to suggest frittata and risotto! My other go-to with asparagus (besides roasting or grilling it) is asparagus and beef stir fry.

We often roast aparagus, and dress with olive oil and lemon juice.

In France it's served chilled with Dijon vinaigrette. Just boil (not to mush) and toss with homemade vinaigrette while still warm and then chill. Unbelievably delicious. Fennel is also amazing this way.

Just made asparagus risotto tonight and used the whole 1lb package - delish! I did make 2cups of rice instead of the usual one though. . .

Add 1 inch blanched pieces to penne with ricotta, fresh basil cherry tomatoes and parmesan.
