The asparagus season is here ! What better than lightly poached with lashings of melted butter - low in virtually everything but extremely scrummy !
 
I love asparagus as well, in fact I'm having some for dinner this evening.

One of my favourite breakfasts is slender asparagus stalks dipped in a soft boiled egg instead of buttered soldiers. I also like it in crustless quiche.
 
Right now they're so tender I've been eating them raw as a snack. I keep them in water in a canning jar and they last a long time in the fridge. I love asparagus any which way
 
White Asparagus is really nice.

Cook in a little water with a huge knob of butter and a lot of lemon juice

Sorry Chook, but you have just turned me off with that mix.

I cannot tolerate soft boiled eggs after being served one that did not spend a great deal of time in boiling water, runny yolks yes, runny whites is a definite no no.

Yuk!! I agree. It takes a long to get over that !!
Or dipped in hollandaise sauce.
or did you mean smothered?? Just kidding. I love hollandaise on anything but too much is too much

Oh definitely smothered. ....... imagine my excitement when I found out I could eat it with LCHF.
And I'm only 5 mins away from a yummy blender version.

Try egg, butter, orange zest and a squeeze of orange!!!
 
 
Love em too, i get them from a farm a mile away, freshly picked. Gout sufferers beware - they are high in purines
