The English asparagus season is sadly coming to an end there only a few days left. I hope I am able to find one last bunch before the season is over.
I usually griddle my asparagus; simply blanch by pouring a kettle of boiling water over your asparagus, shake well and put on a pre heated griddle pan that you have drizzled a little olive oil on. Griddle until stripy. Serve with a knob of butter and a sprinkling of salt.

Asparagus is a fantastic vegetable and will make a healthy entree when griddled. Love the griddled asparagus seasoned by brushing some finely chopped garlic and oregano in virgin olive.
