Kitchen Ideas
- Lemon honey garlic asparagus would make a nice side dish.
- Honey is a nice addition to a homemade vinaigrette, which would complement Idlewood’s fresh greens nicely. Include chopped roasted asparagus in your salad, and top with a poached egg.
- When asparagus is this abundant, it’s nice to save some. A great way to do that is in soup form. This asparagus soup with lemon includes instructions on freezing (note that you don’t want to add the parmesan until you are reheating the soup).
- Bacon-wrapped asparagus makes a nice addition to a Mother’s Day brunch.
