Asparagus season is here! From April to June, fresh spring vegetables like white, green, and purple asparagus shine at greengrocers. Renowned for their delicate, refined flavor—with subtle hazelnut sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture—these spears offer proven health benefits, letting you enjoy them freely. Try a vibrant mixed salad, asparagus flan with Parmesan and almonds, or creamy green asparagus risotto.
Asparagus is a delight, but perfect preparation makes all the difference. Celebrity chef Cyril Lignac shared his pro tips on RTL for crunchy and tasty asparagus. Start with cooking: boil in a large pot of salted water for 8 to 15 minutes, based on size. Stop the cook and lock in color by plunging into ice water. Elevate with a signature vinaigrette of olive oil, curry, and white balsamic vinegar.
