Asparagus are a vegetable you eat all at once. It doesn’t matter if you’re serving one, two or an army of 10, they are a stalk born and grazed to understand the mantra, “one is the loneliest number.” Members of the clean plate club can vouch for this claim.
Because asparagus are such a fresh vegetable it’s almost impossible to get them wrong. This recipe from the New York Times, however, is just one example on how to get them wonderfully right–and makes attendance at any lonely hearts club nearly insane.
