Green asparagus is appreciated for its fine, delicate taste and the fact that, unlike white asparagus, it does not need to be peeled. Culinary uses: Green asparagus can be used in a variety of ways in cooking: ► Side dish: Ideal served simply steamed, roasted in the oven, or grilled on a plancha with a knob of butter, olive oil and fleur de sel. ► Starter: Perfect for a cold starter with a vinaigrette or mousseline/hollandaise sauce. ► Main dishes: Used in risottos, quiches, seasonal salads, or as a high-end garnish for fish or poultry dishes. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. For best storage, keep the base of the stalks moist (in a glass of water, for example) and store in a cool place. ► Preparation: Cut off the woody end (the base). Green asparagus does not need to be peeled. Cooking time is short (about 5 to 10 minutes steamed or boiled, depending on the desired texture).
