Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Steam it, boil it, make a cheese and butter sauce. Makes your pee stink.

Pour some olive oil on it and grill it, good stuff. You want some burn marks on it for flavor.

I find the 'natural' snapping point, cut the bunch there, and then let them stand in a cup of sugar water overnight. Then I steam them til fork-tender and either serve them hot with butter and garlic or chill them, then drizzle with Italian dressing before serving.
Some people use a hollandaise, but that's too rich for my liking.

There are a couple ways of prepping it. One is the snap method where it breaks free where its tender. The other is to peel part of the bases. Asparagus can get pretty woody @ the bases.

Steaming it then butter or Hollandaise are great.
Wrapping it in thinly sliced prosciutto & little grilling it is great.
Some like it wrapped in bacon & grilled(use thin bacon)
My all time favorite is with Jarlsburg swiss, butter & wrapped in veal then grilled or sautéed.

Wrap about 4 of them with bacon, then the whole thing wrapped in aluminum foil and grill it. If you boil it it's only for 2-3 minutes and into ice water to stop it from cooking.

So how bad did you asparagus turn out? By the way the white is far better stuff. Pickled aint bad and alway check the country of origin if you grab a can.

As a kid we use to go out & pick it wild growing along rail road tracks. Lots of wild berries too.

Do the bacon wrapped recipe, if you like bacon, you'll love it.

How long do you grill it? Since it's wrapped in foil it would be hard to tell by sight when the bacon is done.

I really don't keep track of time, when I see bacon fat dripping from the foil I give it about 15 more minutes, I wrap the foil the long way and twist the ends, you can hear the bacon sizzling just keep turning it. The wife loves it. I've done it in the oven too but takes longer.

While I was still working we use to sell it out of or service meat case. (The crap people are willing to overpay for!)It really depends on bacon thickness & how much overlap the bacon has. The doneness of your bacon generally tells you what's up with the asparagus.

Personally I'm not a fan of certain things wrapped in bacon! Asparagus & sea scallops are prime examples. To me the bacon over powers them both.
