Ingredients
Steps
Blanching is a process that quickly cooks and cools vegetables to retain their bright color and texture. The lower stems of mature asparagus will likely have a tougher outer bark. A vegetable peeler works quite well to trim the bark away from the tender center.
Step 1 -
Bring salted water to a rapid boil.
Step 2 -
Add asparagus, cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3 -
Carefully remove with tongs or a slotted spoon.
Step 4 -
Immediately submerge in ice water to stop the cooking process
Step 5 -
Remove from ice water into colander to drain excess water.
Step 6 -
Slice on the bias into 2 inch sections.
Step 7 -
Reheat immediately before serving by steaming or sautéing for one minute (or putting into microwave for 20 seconds).
