I like to start off with this as an appetizer. It prepares and cooks quickly.

Asparagus Puff Pastry Snacks

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:22:01 -0400

Serve as a dinner party starter or serve with a salad as a light lunch. Adapted from the Simply Great Recipes website. I've suggested a few alternatives below. I'm well aware from reading reviews on Zaar that many people don't much like citrus flavourings, but I've provided that option for those of us who do! If you're going down the citrus path and adding a smidgeon of juice to the cream cheese, add it cautiously, a bit at a time, to maintain the basic consistency of the cheese. And, as I've suggested in the TIPS below, if you're a feta-lover, then of course substitute feta for the cream cheese! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Tips for sealing: Mix a little flour [pref. corn flour] with water to form a sticky paste. That's yer glue. AND, add in the coriander leaves based on your own desired amount. I couldn't get a picture once it was fried as they all disappeared! -- posted by sarahman

Asparagus Soup With Crab Meat

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:00:33 -0500

This is a lovely spring soup with a beautiful color and sheen and a perfectly balanced flavor. Neither the asparagus nor the crab meat overpower each other. Note that the authors of the "Silver Palate Cookbook" say the best way to puree asparagus is with a food mill which gets out all the fibrous tissue. Nevertheless, a blender or food processor will work if you strain the soup afterward. This is a luxurious menu choice for a luncheon or a dinner appetizer. Consider it for Easter, too. The recipe was originally posted on the TOH website both by Cathy and by Janie. It was taken from a cookbook called "The Soup Bible." -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Asperge Violette: Violet Asparagus With Hollandaise Sauce

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:28:51 -0400

A springtime treat in France, violet asparagus - gently steamed and then served with hollandaise sauce, divine! All that is needed to accompany this seasonal delicacy is crusty bread and chilled white wine. There are several ways of making this classic French sauce, I give you a very simple method here, and this recipe is well behaved enough to stay warm for up to 30 minutes! There are three types of cultivated asparagus: white, violet and green. The exposure time of asparagus to sunlight determines its colour under sunlight the white asparagus turns first violet and then green. The cultivation methods applied determine the colour. Green asparagus for example is grown above ground and tastes most similar to the original wild asparagus. I like to sprinkle fresh violets from the garden on my asparagus - violets are edible and even if you do not eat them, they make a beautiful garnish! Serves 4 as an appetiser and 2 to 3 as a light meal. -- posted by French Tart

My daughter has been asking me to make tempura so I've been on the lookout for recipes. This recipe was found in the LCBO's Food & Drink Spring 2009 magazine. For the best results, make sure you don't over mix the batter. The beer and rice flour produce a delicate, crispy batter. This recipe only includes vegetables but you could also try fish, peeled shrimp or calamari rings. You can also experiment with other veggies. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario
