Savouring the Finest English Asparagus from Wye Valley!
Asparagus aficionados know that England, with its cool, damp conditions, is a haven for this delicate vegetable. And within this paradise, Wye Valley stands out as a beacon of asparagus excellence. This family-grown brand embodies the essence of asparagus, boasting a wonderful nutty flavour and tender texture that has earned it a special place in the kitchens of Michelin-starred chefs.
Cooking Instructions
Grilled Perfection: One of the simplest and most flavourful ways to cook English asparagus from Wye Valley is by grilling it. Preheating your grill to medium-high heat, rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and snap off the tough ends. Drizzle the spears with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Steamed Elegance: Fill a pot with a few inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and place them in a steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
Serving Suggestions
English asparagus from Wye Valley shines when paired with minimal accompaniments. For a heavenly starter, try serving grilled asparagus with melted butter, a sprinkle of black truffle salt, and a soft-boiled egg. For an extra touch of indulgence, opt for a gull egg – a real treat for the taste buds.
Main Course Delight
When incorporating English asparagus into a main course, consider pairing it with hollandaise sauce and fish dishes. The rich, buttery flavour of hollandaise sauce complements the nuttiness of the asparagus perfectly, while the lightness of fish allows the vegetable to take centre stage. Whether grilled, steamed or roasted, Wye Valley asparagus adds a touch of elegance to any main course.
