Normally we find asparagus so delicious, that we would serve it in the simplest way possible, either with a good hollandaise or just olive oil but these recipes looked so delicious, we tried them both.
Asparagus and chive bread pudding
We served this with a chicken as recommended, but it would have been delicious on its own. A bit like a fancy quiche, lots going on but not so much to overpower the delicate asparagus which still came through very strongly.
Asparagus from Wheeler’s (the most honest Borough Market trader), bread from St. John, everything else from Waitrose.
Grilled asparagus with avocado and horseradish
Really tasty, delicious egg providing a good creaminess and mouthfeel to the dressing, strong flavours and well balanced.
Horseradish from Whole Foods.
