Notes
- If you are not using them immediately, store the asparagus in a tight bunch and with the bottom stalk in fresh water. This will prevent you from drying out and going limp on yourself.
- Buying asparagus in season not only makes it taste amazing, but they are also less cost-prohibitive.
- To remove the hard part of the asparagus, snap it off.
- Shave the bottom part of the stalk to make them softer and, therefore, enjoyable.
