AsparaYESS!!

Why we love it: April is the peak month for asparagus! Say Asparayess to these 6 dishes that have asparagus!!

First is this Sesame Tofu + Asparagus Over Ramen Noodles

This is a fast and satisfying dish that tastes great a day later and could be adapted in countless ways. Fun Fact – the seasoning packets from ramen noodles work great in pickle making!

This Tiny Shells with Peas + Asparagus is to die for!

In this recipe, you could use whatever pasta you like but the tiny shells hold on to sauce and sometimes curl around a pea in a way that I very much enjoy. This pasta is unbeatable when served, but even better as a leftover.

A Quick and easy Turmeric Rice with Asparagus, Peas + Artichoke

Every region and culture has their version of a one pot rice dinner and they’re all worth eating. This one though, is for the culture of “we need dinner in 30 minutes or less because, Wednesday.” This is a spring time update of one of our customer’s favorite fall recipes!

How about this Asparagus with Fried Egg + Crispy Prosciutto

About a decade ago, my grandma came to San Francisco to visit and we had a version of this dish in Sausalito. She’s since always told me it’s one of her favorite go-to easy dinners. It’s quite simple but totally satisfying and for this version I’ve added salt prosciutto.

Or this tasty Carne Asada on Tortilla with Grilled Asparagus

Some butchers will sell “Fajita Strips” or pre-sliced steak which is a time saver and they work best when seared on the stovetop. Another delicious way to prepare this is by using a whole skirt or flank steak and grilling it – then slice into strips. This method makes for a very  simple party platter!

Last but not least this: Beef + Asparagus Over Ramen Noodles is a must!

This dish is a fast and satisfying that tastes great a day later and could be adapted in countless ways. Fun Fact – the seasoning packets from ramen noodles work great in pickle making!
